Developed in partnership with faculty, staff, students, the Advisory Board and the Alumni Council, the 21st Century Campus Initiative addresses our state’s need to expand access to higher education by outlining a vision for how we intend to grow in both size and excellence.
In September 2006 UW Bothell welcomed its first lower division students. This expansion was authorized by the State legislature during its 2005 session. The reports and documents below demonstrate how planning groups are engaging the entire campus in the development of lower division academic programs and student support systems.
