Conference Room

GWSS Conference Room (PDL B110 G)

Conference room reservation requests should be sent to Whitney Miller, GWSS Program Coordinator, at wmmiller@uw.edu. Our conference room takes reservations from GWSS faculty, staff and graduate students as well as our sister departments in Padelford Hall.

Conference Room Requests 

Conference room requests are prioritized in the following order:

  1. Meetings that serve the department as a whole (e.g., faculty meetings, department colloquia, etc.)
  2. Meetings that serve standing committees of the department (e.g., Curriculum Committee meetings)
  3. Meetings that serve quarter-long teaching responsibilities of the department (e.g. meetings of GWSS 200 TAs)
  4. Meetings that serve the department in ad hoc respects (e.g., quarterly meeting of graduate students with Chair and Graduate Program Director). When such meetings are being held by undergraduate GWSS majors, either the GWSS advisor or other GWSS graduate student or faculty member must be responsible for unlocking and relocking the room, turning out lights, etc.
  5. Ad hoc requests from other departments for use of the room (a favor we accord reciprocally from time to time with other departments in Padelford).
