Welcome to the Diversity Minor Website!
The Diversity Minor Program has been created by the Diversity Minor Committee, a body of faculty chosen from numerous departments throughout the College of Arts and Sciences, and is designed to strengthen students’ understanding of how race, class, gender, disability, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, religion, and age interact to define identities and social relations. The program brings cohesion to a variety of courses selected to increase students’ critical thinking about issues of diversity. The Diversity Minor provides an avenue for students to gain knowledge, skills and perspectives that are essential to civic participation, employability, and quality of life after graduation.

Common Ground
On the median that divides the walkway between Mary Gates Hall and Suzzallo Library, there’s a new public monument to diversity. It began as a protest over a statue, and ended up as a monument. Read the story of how the monument was created in Columns: The University of Washington Alumni Magazine.
