Affinity groups
Build your community by participating in one UW’s affinity groups for staff and faculty. These groups are an important part of the UW community and are great way to build your network and foster connections.
Affinity groups at UW provide space for connection, support, and community-building around shared identities and experiences. Participation is open to all UW employees—whether to find community or to support and learn from others.
