FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 28TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

"As a Tacoma native, first-generation college student, mother of three, full time student, and employee the University of Washington-Tacoma has served as a catalyst, weaving together a heightened level of self-confidence, resources and connections within my personal and professional life. My education has illuminated the interconnectedness of how I can use my understanding of accounting principles to be a vessel for the community in which I was raised. Striving to make an equitable change by utilizing my understanding of a “power with” leadership mentality to be a pillar and guiding light just as UWT has been for me."

SERVING THE 28TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

The UW facilitates hundreds of programs in communities across the state. Below are a few that operate in your district. Programs active as of January 2023.

UW in the High School

Through the UW in the High School program, high school sophomores, juniors and seniors can complete University of Washington courses — and earn college credit — in their own classrooms with their own teachers. Teachers are approved and trained by UW faculty to teach official UW courses using UW curriculum, activities, texts, tests and grading scales. Participating students can earn college credits at a fraction of the cost, and these credits are accepted by most colleges and universities across Washington and around the country. Partner high schools can offer UW coursework in computer science, math, science, world languages, humanities and social sciences. Check out which schools UW in the High School is partnering with in your area.
