Marc Lindenberg Center for Humanitarian Action, International Development and Global Citizenship

The Lindenberg Center was established in 2002 to better prepare University of Washington (UW) students, faculty and staff for life and work in a global society. In this era of globalization, we face widespread humanitarian crises, extreme poverty afflicting over one billion of the world's population, and environmental challenges, terrorism, health crises and many other problems that flow across national borders. In collaboration with international nongovernmental agencies, local organizations, the K-12 community, and across University departments, the Lindenberg Center seeks multidisciplinary approaches to address these issues through teaching, research and service. The Lindenberg Center will enable students and the broader community to more clearly understand the connections between poverty, hunger, and disease and equip them with the skills and knowledge to create a better, more humane world.

The Center is named in honor of Marc Lindenberg, Dean and Professor of the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs. Dean Lindenberg devoted his career to improving lives through direct action, teaching, research, and fostering in his students and colleagues a sense of personal responsibility in their lives and careers.
