Leadership, Community And Values Initiative
Diversity
Energy and Ideas from All of Our People
University of Washington President Mark Emmert
The response from the Leadership, Community and Values Initiative survey is clear: People at the UW are interested in diversity on our campuses and they want to know what the University is doing to encourage it, especially among faculty and staff.
In these pages, we plan to inform you of the University's efforts toward fostering diversity, with a focus on actions that affect faculty and staff. Choose a topic for more information.
