As one of the top public research universities in the world, the UW is pleased to welcome all of our international students, who hail from nearly 100 countries. While the COVID-19 pandemic has made this an unusual and challenging time for all of us, I know that the coming year holds incredible promise and we are so pleased to count you among our students as we navigate this unprecedented time. One of our University’s greatest strengths is our richly diverse community of students who bring a wealth of perspectives and lived experience to our shared learning environment. Whether you are living on campus this year or studying from another part of the world, your unique voice contributes immeasurably to our academic community. Our University is committed to ensuring that every student feels welcome and comfortable in order to do their best learning. You are all valued members of our community regardless of nationality, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious views, area of study or scholarship. What makes each of us unique is what makes our whole University great. While the pandemic has unfortunately limited some of the hands-on exploration of our city and region that we usually encourage international students to discover, there are still many meaningful and exciting ways for you to engage with and learn from your classmates, faculty and UW community, both virtually and – safely – in person. However you choose to pursue your studies, I hope you will make time to forge new friendships, indulge your curiosity and explore what our University and the world have to offer. Welcome! Sincerely, 3 Welcome! It’s such an honor to be part of your welcome to our beautiful university, city, and region - I’m so glad you’ve joined us at the University of Washington. This year might feel different, but there are so many people here who are excited to welcome and celebrate you. As we navigate this challenging time together, FIUTS will play an important part of your adjustment. I hope you will take advantage of the resources and advice available to you as a new member of our community. FIUTS (Foundation for International Understanding Through Students) is an independent nonprofit organization that was founded on this campus seventy-two years ago by faculty and community members who were passionate about the power of friendship to build bonds of peace. To this day, our strong and unique partnership between the UW and FIUTS creates unrivaled opportunities for powerful cross-cultural learning and exploration both on and off campus. FIUTS offers an array of opportunities for you to get involved, make new friends, and to share your culture and experiences with others. From social activities to meaningful conversations, FIUTS is a vibrant and active organization where you can expand your network, practice new skills, and mentor other students. Through FIUTS, you can form a connection to people who represent every corner of our planet and become part of a community - international students, U.S. students, alumni, and community members - who share a dedication to global exploration. I hope you will look to FIUTS as an important source of support and community during your time as a Husky and beyond. Best of luck at the University of Washington.

Minutes by and respectfully submitted by Samantha Kraft. I. Call to Order Jon calls the meeting to order at 5:03pm. He thanks everyone for coming. It’s week 10. He asks everyone to look at the agenda. There are copies up front. He reads through the agenda and asks if there are any additions, deletions, or modifications. II. Approval of the Agenda Tunny moves to approve the agenda. There is a second. III. Public Forum- Ana Mari Cauce- Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Jon says this is our agenda. He welcomes up Dean Ana Mari Cauce. We will have 20 minutes with questions. He says he will take a speakers list for questions. Dean Cauce says she doesn’t really have a presentation. It will pretty much be q and a. She says some of you may remember that she started officially on March 31 of last year. It’s almost been a year on the job. At the time, she says she had no idea that April Fools was an appropriate time to start. She came into the job with the hope that she would be doing a lot of hiring and building new programs, and the economy had come off a cliff. She will be spending a fair amount of time taking things apart and seeing where we can make budget cuts. It will be difficult for the university.

    The Public University’s Role in Tending Democracy President Ana Mari Cauce wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ - Intellectual House, University of Washington October 15, 2019 Remarks as prepared for delivery Thank you, Joe. and by the way, if you haven’t heard it, I recommend checking out Joe’s podcast, “Documents that changed the world.” It’s a fabulous example of how a talented scholar is connecting his work to stories that are fascinating and relevant to everyone. And a warm thank you to our Regents here: Joel Benoliel, Joanne Harrell, Constance Rice, Rogelio Riojas, Daniela Suarez and David Zeeck. It’s been fun spending so much time together at a number of fabulous events since the start of the year. And thank you all for joining me for this annual tradition, whether you’re here in the wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ - Intellectual House or watching remotely. Your participation in our great public university IS what makes it great. Before I proceed, it’s important to acknowledge that we are on the land of the Coast Salish peoples which touches the shared waters of all the tribes and bands within the Suquamish, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot nations. This beautiful space we are sharing is a living reminder of the tribes and the native people who founded and remain integral to our community. I always look forward to this annual address because it affords me the privilege and opportunity to talk with you, the University of Washington community, about the things we care most about: our public mission and our impact locally, nationally, and globally. Today, I also want us to consider the role our great public university plays in advancing the freedoms and responsibilities that define our 243-year-old republic.
