Our History : 1968
• In 1968 Black students staged a sit-in at UW President Odegaard's
office demanding a minority educational program with these goals in
mind:
• To recruit, admit, retain, educate and graduate minority
students.
• To receive financial assistance and the necessary programs
that would ensure success at the University of Washington.
• In 1970, the Special Education Program Opportunity Program (SEP)
was renamed Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) by vice
President for Minority Affairs Samuel Kelly.
• In 1970 the Ethnic Cultural Center (ECC) facility was proposed.
• In 1971 the ECC/T, a unit of the Office of Minority Affairs, had it’s
grand opening.
MISSION & PHILOSOPHY
In support of the UW goals, the OMA/D Ethnic Cultural
Center/Theatre (ECC/T) promotes an inclusive and
educational environment by providing programs and services
which enhance the communication and exchange of
multicultural perspectives and values.
The ECC/T provides programs and a learning environment
where students and student organizations collaborate,
develop and implement programs while building leadership
and organization skills.
THE ECC/T STAFF & STUDENT
The ECC/T Staff
• Educating Learners and Learning Educators
The ECC/T Student
• All students on campus are prospective ECC/T students;
however, an ECC/T student must demonstrate an active
commitment and genuine interest in upholding the ECC/T
mission.
The ECC/T Organizations
• A registered student organization that has completed the ECC/T
registration process and who’s organizational mission coincides,
reinforces or supports the ECC/T mission.
ECC/T CORE VALUES
PLEDGE OF RECIPROCITY
As members of this community (both staff and student alike),
we pledge our commitment to promote a positive climate within
and outside of the ECC/T, to respect one another and to become
educated about our distinct multicultural perspectives.
EDUCATE
To teach and prepare our ECC/T student community of the
wealth of resources and opportunities at the UW to build their
skill sets to become future civic leaders and global citizens.
Our belief that significant amount of learning takes place outside
of the classroom through their involvement in:
a. Student Leadership and Organizational Development
b. Community Organizations/Agencies
c. ASUW and other Leadership opportunities on campus
d. Mentoring Opportunities
e. Interaction with Faculty and Staff
ENRICH
Active participation in opportunities at the ECC/T and UW
significantly contributes to the success of their own self learning,
identity development, cultural awareness, academic studies, and
personal and educational growth.
EMPOWER
As ECC/T students develop into community leaders and global
citizens, they become the agents of change - creating a vibrant
and positive campus climate that allows all UW students, faculty
and staff the opportunity to maximize their educational and
student life/personal experience; while educating others about
our efforts to define a multicultural and diverse University of
Washington.
