Department Culture Office Hour
During spring 2023 the Chairs of the Diversity & Equity Committee (DEC) and the Chair of the Graduate & Postdoc Program Committee (GPC) are holding DEC/GPC department culture office hours on alternate Fridays, 11-12:00 p.m. in LSB 302, or Join Zoom Meeting: https://washington.zoom.us/j/6115043636 Meeting ID: 611 504 3636
Everyone is welcome. Please feel free to drop in for any part of the hour that you are available. We hope to see you.
To support antiracism discussions that are occurring throughout our department, including in classrooms, laboratories, and offices, we have compiled archives of DEC/GPC department culture office hour topics.
