Resources for Students

Psychological & Wellness Services (PAWS)

Psychological & Wellness Services (PAWS) helps students cope with stress and personal issues that may interfere with their ability to perform in school. Short-term, problem-focused counseling aims to help students build skills and explore alternative ways of coping. PAWS provides individual, couple, and group counseling in addition to other services.

The Pantry

The Pantry exists to provide supplemental, nutritional, and culturally relevant food as well as hygiene items to all UW Tacoma students on campus. In an effort to support our students experiencing a lack of resources to food for themselves and their families, the CEI has partnered with FISH Food Bank to provide nutritional and accessible items to all UWT students on campus.​
