The Tacoma program is committed to providing its students with an interdisciplinary, reality-based, community-responsive liberal arts education. The program operates from a frame of reference that values family, community, collaboration, inclusivity, hospitality and academic excellence. Recognizing the importance of personal and professional growth, research and scholarship, and commitment to community and public service, the Tacoma program seeks to provide a catalytic climate for intellectual, cultural and social growth. Evergreen's educational approach provides a unique opportunity for students to go into local communities and engage in research, education and problem-solving projects that are as beneficial to those communities as they are to our students. The Tacoma program seeks to be a nexus for activities directed toward responding to community needs. We see ourselves as a resource not only for students, but also for the broader community. Within this context, we seek to promote service learning by linking students, faculty, staff and community members in community development, sustainability and well-being efforts. Learn more...
