Abstract

The University of Washington’s vision statement explicitly states that the University seeks to provide a diverse student body with the education to become global citizens and leaders. FIUTS has created a community of international and American students, members of the local community, and alumni around the world through programs that link the campus with the community. We deliver our programs to a diverse range of constituents that promote cross-cultural understanding, global culture, and respect for diversity. A large aspect of our programming is facilitating events both in-person and virtually, led by approximately 200 undergraduate and graduate student “facilitators.” Our 18 elected student board members regularly present to student committees, classrooms, other RSO’s and at meetings and gatherings across campus. Technology hardware plays a large role in event facilitation and presentations, and with new equipment, we can better serve UW students and the community.
