I wanted to let everyone know about an upcoming training for:
Professionals who are working to heal and reverse the multi system impact of complex trauma (a.k.a. all layers of oppression), and who are interested in learning an evidenced based approach to facilitate holistic change & healing, interpersonally and systemically.
The training is applicable for social workers, activists, mental health clinicians, yoga teachers, educators, activists, and other healthcare professionals.
No prior yoga training is required.
I am attending and would love to see some familiar faces.

As a university that is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, we know that all experiences in their various forms contribute to the vibrancy and excellence of our campus communities.
On Friday, November, 8, we will lift up the experiences of our first-generation students, faculty and staff when the Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma campuses join universities across the country to participate in the third annual National First-Generation College Celebration.
“Being the first” in your family to attend college comes with a unique set of challenges and often our first-generation students, both undergraduate and graduate, feel invisible. As a first-gen student myself, I know this well. I am also aware of the great contributions that are made by our first-generation community members, faculty and staff included. Your experience and perspective make us better as an institution. It is wonderful that our three campuses can come together to elevate your success during what will be a special day throughout the nation.
To participate in the celebration and demonstrate that many in our community have experienced this pathway in higher education, we’re inviting all students, faculty and staff who are the first in their families to attend college to wear “Celebrate First-Gen” buttons next week. Those who need buttons can pick them up at these locations.
A few events for our first-gen community will take place next week as well. I also encourage everyone to show their pride or support on social media using the national or UW-affiliated hashtags #CelebrateFirstGen, #BeTheFirst, #UWFirstGen or #UWFirstGenGrads.
More details about how to participate can be found on our National First-Generation College Celebration web site.
We are proud to be an institution that supports the success and presence of our first-generation community. I look forward to seeing the ways in which you will join us in the celebration.

On behalf of the Associated Students of the University of Washington Office of Government Relations (ASUW OGR), we would like to formally invite you to our 13th Annual Legislative Reception. The reception will be held on Friday, November 15th, from 5:30-7:30pm in the University of Washington’s HUB South Ballroom, with doors opening at 5pm.
With the 2020 legislative session just around the corner, this reception is an opportunity for elected officials to converse with students on higher education policy and advocacy. As you may know, the ASUW puts together a new legislative agenda each year, and we will be releasing our new agenda at this event. This agenda will be comprised of issues facing students, and attendees will have a unique opportunity to sit down for dinner and engage in a discussion about real issues with actual students before committee days the following week. Previous guest speakers have included Attorney General Bob Ferguson, Governor Jay Inslee, as well as students and administrative leaders from the University of Washington. This event serves as a unique experience for students to share their stories, and continue to build a relationship between the UW student body and the legislature.
Your presence at this event would be an honor. The details of the event are listed again below:
