You have a great opportunity to influence change in
the Diversity Climate of the Department of Electrical Engineering! .
If you identify with any of the underrepresented
groups within engineering (i.e. women, African Americans, Hispanics,
Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, LGBTQ students, low-income
students, and students with disabilities), and you are a continuing
student (this is not your first quarter at the UW), we invite you to
participate in a Focus Group with staff from UW Center for Workforce
Development (CWD). We hope you will participate! If you have already
confirmed your participation, thank you.
The focus group will only take one hour of
your time and is in the EE Building. Questions will be asked about your
experiences at UW, your perceptions of faculty and students, and
suggestions for improvement. CWD will keep your responsesconfidential;
the results will only be presented in aggregate form so that individuals
cannot be identified in the final report.
The focus group session is scheduled for Wednesday, October 23, 2013 from 5-6pm, in EEB room M406. CWD will provide food and beverages during the session.
Thank you for participating - and making EE a better place for all,
Brenda Larson,
Lead Academic Counselor, Undergraduate Programs
