U Drive is a central file storage for users that provides students, faculty and staff with a place to store files that can be accessed from anywhere, on- and off-campus. U Drive files are available via the network in real time, from any computer on campus, both personal and institutionally owned. Windows, Mac and Linux computers are supported. Off campus, users can access their files via standard internet protocols such as Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

About

CSDE is a community of faculty and students associated to advance population science through research and training. As a federally funded research center with over 70 years of experience, the CSDE community of scholars develops new demographic measures and methods, advances knowledge about population dynamics, generates new data and evidence to support population science, and trains the next generation of demographers. CSDE is funded through internal commitments from UW and its portfolio of research, training, and infrastructure grants. In recent years, CSDE’s UW affiliates typically held over 70 external research grants, more than half of which are from NIH or NSF. CSDE receives institutional matching funds from UW for its mission, including generous support from the College of Arts & Sciences along with support from the Vice Provost for Research, School of Public Health, School of Nursing, and School of Social Work.


Student Technology Loan Program

Status:

Awarded

Awarded:

$426,157

About

The Student Technology Loan Program is a free loan program that provides students with access to laptops, cameras, camcorders, projectors, and a variety of other resources. Born out of the STF and Classroom Support Services as a self-funded project, the STLP has grown and developed over the years, currently running loan centers out of Kane, Health Sciences, and the HUB. The STLP has received hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years from the STF. Thousands of students utilize STLP resources yearly, with resources being well used. The STLP is completely student run, with one faculty member from UW IT serving as an advisor. Quick to adapt to changing needs on campus, the STLP is a valued resource and partner to the STF and the student body at large. The STLP has made yearly requests for equipment in one form or another since 2002, making it one of our oldest partners. The STLP depends on the STF for all technology needs. Additional support comes from the Services and Activities Fee to pay for staffing, and UW IT which provides space. As the STLP allows loans, it helps to fill many needs on campus, from short-term advanced camera and audio equipment needs to lost or broken laptops to covering those unable to afford their own devices. The STLP has proven a grand success, and safeguarding the organization with long-term support is a priority. The STLP is the other of the first two organizations to be proposed for block funding, and spurred the development of the continuous funding model.

Awarded:

$200,000

Abstract

The Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) was started to give students the opportunity to engage with and lead sustainability efforts on the University of Washington—Seattle campus. In the fall of 2009, students came together to create a green fund to develop, create, and implement their ideas. The original working group led a grassroots campaign across campus, gaining petition signatures, RSO endorsements, faculty support, and eventually institutional support. As a result of unprecedented support, the CSF received a $339,805 fund through the Services and Activities Fee (SAF) Committee for the 2010-2011 school year. The CSF is established as one of the eighteen units that are funded by the SAF, which provides funding for programs that enrich the cultural, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social well-being of students. Today, the Campus Sustainability Fund is a student-run and student-funded grant program at the University of Washington working towards justice-centered sustainability.
