Other Announcements
- D Center manager search - failed
- ASUW Student Disability Commission (SDC): outreach from Director Lali Guyon and AD Emma Martin:
  1. This year, one of our main goals is to build stronger partnerships with departments, RSOs, and organizations that share our commitment to accessibility and equity. We’d love to collaborate on events, social media campaigns, or other projects that highlight disability awareness and student support.
  2. We’re also hosting weekly tabling sessions every Wednesday, where students can share accessibility concerns or suggestions through our Microsoft Form. These conversations help us identify areas for improvement and guide our advocacy efforts — including bills we plan to bring to the ASUW Senate this year.

Mark your calendars for [room reservation pending] Friday June 5, 2026, 2-4pm in HUB 250 & zoom!
