HCDE Student Resource Groups are student-led resource groups that play an important role in building community, internal networks, and advocacy—connecting students to resources across the department, campus, and community.

These groups celebrate the individual experiences and characteristics of traditionally underrepresented, acknowledging their challenges but also contributions and opportunities to embrace our diverse community. 

This work is led by the HCDE Graduate Student Association. Questions? Contact HCDE GSA at hcdegsa@uw.edu.
