The Diversity Awareness Group (DAwG) was formed as a means of academic and peer support for underrepresented students at the University of Washington School of Nursing. We encourage scholarship, collaboration, networking, and leadership through community on and off campus.

A Message from President Emmert

To help the University of Washington reach even higher among the nation's foremost universities, we must continue to do all we can to create a diverse academic community.

An educational experience that fails to expose students — majority and minority — to multicultural perspectives or that does not include interaction in a diverse community simply cannot measure up. All students leaving the University have to be able to take their places in the global village. We must continue to build a multicultural academic community because it is an inherent ingredient in an excellent education.
