This past year, Equity & Inclusion (E&I), through its partnerships with campus stakeholders and the surrounding community, continued to advocate and/or create new policies, practices, and spaces that move the campus closer to realizing a vision for UW Tacoma that is more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. We have a long and difficult road ahead but as Frederick Douglass once said, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” My colleagues and I in E&I are grateful for our students, faculty, staff and community partners who accompanied us on this journey, who’ve given their labor, and helped illuminate a path for driving this important, and oftentimes, unrecognized work forward. This annual report serves to honor their stories which lie at the center of every accomplishment that it highlights.
