Description:

The faculty in the College of Science and Engineering has established a fund to provide support for Black students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Black people face unique and systemic barriers to succeeding in STEM, contributing to historical and ongoing underrepresentation in undergraduate and graduate STEM programs, and in STEM careers. The impetus for the fund is the 2020 protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Through this scholarship we can, together, make an impact on the educational goals of Black students at WWU for generations to come.Our initial goal is to raise $25,000 to establish an endowment fund that will support the scholastic and research aspirations of Black undergraduate and graduate students. Please join us in making a lasting impact for our students. Together we can make a difference.The donation page can be found here"In light of the uncertainties about the status of the pandemic in Fall, the seriousness of COVID-19, and our desire to prepare quality courses that we can be assured of being able to deliver in Fall quarter, we have made the difficult decision that all formal BIOL courses will be online in Fall 2020..."To read the full message, click here. Are you an incoming new student for fall 2020?
