We are a public service center of The Evergreen State College. Established in 1985, Washington Center emphasizes collaborative, low-cost, highly effective approaches to educational reform.

Our member institutions include Washington State's public four-year institutions, community colleges, technical colleges, independent colleges, and a tribal college.

Emily Lardner and Gillies Malnarich have co-directed the Center since 2000. In addition to the co-directors, the Center has two professional support staff and several student workers.

The Work We Do

We are for the success of all students.

We work with faculty, staff, and administrators at regional and national levels to support student engagement and academic achievement, particularly for students underrepresented in higher education.

The Washington Center organizes collaborative projects through

web and print publications;
consulting and campus visits;
gatherings for educators.

Our projects promote interdisciplinary learning, curricular integration, and educational equity.
