Complete An Audit Of Campus Websites With Information About The Student Conduct Process

Student Conduct & Advocacy worked with the UW Tacoma Library, Faculty Assembly, Registrar, and other campus partners to update webpages across the campus to reflect accurate information related to the conduct process.

CREATE A POSITION TO ASSIST WITH OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING SUPPORT

A grant through the Washington State Achievement Council was applied for and awarded to UW Tacoma which provides funding for a position that supports students with off-campus housing. A graduate student was hired to create off-campus housing lists and partner with local leasing agents. The position is housed in the Office of Student Advocacy & Support.

Create And Improve Partnerships To Increase Student Support

The Office of Student Advocacy & Support (OSAS) participated in a variety of outreach opportunities through tabling, passing out fliers, meeting with RSOs, working with students on ways to improve outreach and services, and elevating student voices to leadership, resulting in connecting with a new comunity partner where six referrals were made. The outreach efforts also resulted in welcoming numerous faculty to the OSAS office who came for more information and guidance.

OSAS launched, in partnership with the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships, the Emergency Aid Community of Practice to analyze and monitor the decision-making process for Emergency Aid requests.
