UW Student Life

Help make the University a better place. Your voice, your UW. The Campus Climate Survey covers a broad range of experiences, from questions about inclusion and belonging to questions about s*x- and gender-based violence, harassment or discrimination. The survey is now open until May 22. Make sure your voice is heard at uw.edu/uwclimatesurvey/!

Happy Earth Day! As we continue to support environmental protection, here are some ways to be more environmentally mindful.

Reuse. It's important to prioritize reusable materials, such as grocery bags and water bottles, along with limiting single use plastic.

Transit. We recommend taking public transit (which is free for UW students!), turning off your vehicle when not in use and choosing to walk, bike or skate instead of driving.

Waste. You can reduce waste by recycling applicable materials, practicing correct composting and managing food waste.

Water. To conserve water, try to take shorter showers, cut running water and reduce the number of laundry loads you do.
