For Faculty and Staff
Departmental Diversity Committee Meetings
Once a quarter we bring together leaders of departmental committee (DDCs) across our graduate programs to provide an important interdisciplinary space to learn about new resources, hear about best practices and lessons learned, and engage in dialogue on effective ways to advance diversity and inclusion goals.
D-Team Discussion/Workshop Series
The Graduate School diversity team, or D-Team, consists of Graduate School staff who facilitate dialogue and coordinate activities regarding diversity for staff engagement. This year, the group has continued its discussion events and workshops. These events provide opportunities for staff to engage in discussions regarding equity, inclusion, and diversity. Discussion topics have included the native experience at UW, implicit bias, being black in Seattle, and gender and sexuality.
Public Lecture Series
The Graduate School administers three endowments that fund the public lecture series:
- Walker-Ames Fund
- Jessie and John Danz Fund
- Mary Ann and John D. Mangels Fund

These lectures bring outstanding and renowned scholars and individuals whose lives have significantly impacted society.
