CIRCLE adopts student-centered and strengths-based approaches to address the needs of international graduate (master’s and doctoral) students through resource sharing and tailored programming.

GPSS hosts events and programming, provides opportunities for a wide breadth of engagement through internal committees and university-wide liaison positions, and offers funding for academic and professional development.
All-Gender Restrooms
All individuals may use facilities such as restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms that correspond with their gender identity; in other words, individuals may use the restroom of the gender they identify with. This is consistent with WAC 162-32-060.
Gender neutral restrooms are available for all to use, including people who are gender expansive, trans, and nonbinary. They provide greater privacy for those who prefer it, and are accessible to persons with disabilities who have a caregiver of a different gender or to parents with a child of a different gender than themselves.
