A big thank you to all of participants and panelists at the Paid Leave Symposium held August 11 in the HUB. Co-sponsored by UW and the City of Seattle, this event brought together UW researchers from the West Coast Poverty Center, the School of Social Work and the School of Public Health with experts from cities, states and companies instituting paid family leave. The event put a spotlight on emerging scholarship and best practices, as well as areas still in need of study. Special thanks to Seattle City Councilmembers Sally Bagshaw and Lisa Herbold, and staff from the office of Councilmember Lorena Gonzalez for moderating portions of the morning.

Students, staff, and faculty have worked for several years to have UW host an organized encampment on the Seattle Campus for individuals facing homelessness. A group is working to make this a reality in Winter 2017. UW President Ana Mari Cauce recently met with the group of students and representatives from Tent City 3 to hear their proposal. Read her message to hear more about this idea and reply to her request for feedback.
