Together, we can build a better world

Membership in our community is forever, and the CBE community is big enough for everyone who wants to join. We hope that, whether you’re an alumnus of our college, a potential partner, or a Seattleite interested in learning more, you’ll stay in touch.

For alumni

As CBE alumni, you probably have many fond memories of your time at UW: the first time you entered Gould Hall. Exhibiting your work, or attending a friend’s exhibit. Your first internship as a CBE student, and the mentors who shepherded you towards your career.

We’d love to have you in our corner, fostering opportunities for new generations of students. Your time and resources will make it possible for CBE to tackle today’s global issues by maintaining our standards of excellence in teaching and research. You’ll also help us diversify our student body so that all perspectives and people can be represented in built environments.

How can you support our CBE community?

  • Make a donation. Financial funding is crucial for recruiting students from underrepresented communities, and making it possible for bright minds to shape our shared future.
  • Volunteer your expertise. Schedule a class visit and share information with current students.
  • Stay engaged. There are always lectures and exhibits open for the public to attend. We’d love to have you there.
  • Spread the news. Feel free to share information about our events, volunteer opportunities, and philanthropic needs with your social circle.

From guest lecturing to benefitting from student internships, we ensure that our partners meet their own needs while providing students with excellent educational and career opportunities.
