Make an impact on campus and beyond.
Many Arts & Sciences students contribute to the community as volunteers — and often leaders — on- and off-campus. They commit their time and skills to student-run organizations, local nonprofits, arts groups, healthcare organizations, and more. As they apply classroom learning to the real world, they make a positive difference in the city and region. Here are a few of their stories.
I've loved working alongside student leaders who are...committed to making things better and more inclusive.
Advocating for Access
As a child of Deaf adults, Christine Lew advocated for the Deaf community — and others — as director of the ASU Student Disability Commission.
Seeking Justice, One Case at a Time
As an undergrad interested in criminal justice, Anthony Stokes visited prisons, met with incarcerated men, and worked on court cases.
A Museum Mission
After volunteering and pursuing research at the Suquamish Museum — created and run by the Suquamish tribe — Racquel West joined the staff of the UW's Burke Museum.
The UW Through an Indigenous Lens
Owen Oliver created a Burke Museum course for Native American students, served as director of the UW's American Indian Student Commission, and created the UW Indigenous Walking Tour.
Connecting Communities with Health Care
Concerned about the lack of health coverage for undocumented individuals, Marium Raza created an app and nonprofit to share information about community services.
How Questions Inspired Action
Samantha Fredman focused on societal inequities through her courses and through her work at ROOTS, a shelter for young adults near the UW's Seattle campus.
