Ms. M FROM THE DESK OF

Dear Husky friends and families,

As one academic quarter winds down and we prepare for the next, I want to share with you a few reflections about our work within the student affairs division to facilitate student learning. When we talk about “student affairs”, we refer to the departments connected to nearly every aspect of a student’s university life, from the admission and financial aid review to orientation before the first class and career planning for life after graduation. The 20212022 annual report brings together a summation of our accomplishments.

We have responded well and have many reasons to celebrate. We are also mindful of the loss many in our communities have endured because of the pandemic, racial injustice, and economic insecurity.

I am grateful for an incredible student affairs team who worked through one of the most challenging periods of their personal and professional lives to support our students and whose efforts are represented throughout this report. Indeed, every single student can succeed through full access to and inclusion in a wide range of learning experiences. I am grateful, too, for the partnership and collaboration across many on- and off- campus communities and the longstanding commitment to UW Tacoma.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to review our progress. Be well, and please stay in touch with us.

With grit and grace,

Mentha Hynes-Wilson Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
