2018 Annual Report on the 2003 University of Washington Master Plan, Seattle Campus

During the reporting period, the University slightly decreased the amount of leased space in the University District Northwest Urban Center Village (UDNUCV) by 2,379 square feet, bringing the total leased space in this area to 306,839 square feet. The total number of UW employees in this area increased slightly to 3,867 people with 1,319 of these working in leased space. Total leased space in the City of Seattle was 1,451,712 square feet.

The University continued to participate in the University District Partnership by contributing staff time and money to help maintain the organization. The University also worked with neighbors and students to improve the North of 45th area. This work included UWPD patrols, safety walks, newsletters, food/sock drives and neighborhood cleanups. The University also started the Doorway Project in partnership with community-based non-profits to increase service capacity though student placements and, in the long-term, establish a U District services center specifically for young people experiencing homelessness.

Dream Project Visit

DreamProjectVisit_2018_7871

On April 19, President Cauce visited Evergreen High School in the Highline School District to visit with University of Washington students who are mentors in the UW Dream Project. The UW Dream Project is a service learning course and post-secondary planning/college access program housed out of two UW departments: Undergraduate Academic Affairs and the College of Education. Through this program, mentors work in classrooms serving students in high schools with higher than average free and reduced lunch populations. Mentors use what they have learned during their EDUC 260 and/or EDUC 360 classes and personal experience to assist students through the college application process. Evergreen also hosts UW College and Career Readiness Assistant (CCRA) Interns. These are UW undergraduates who work with students in middle and high schools for 12 hours a week to support any school and/or district identified college and career readiness needs.

Learn more about the UW Dream Project here and visit the UW Dream Project website. President Cauce’s visit also appears on the Highline Public Schools website here.
