Wildcats Build a Culture of Respect


At CWU, we are committed to fostering a community where respect is the cornerstone of all our interactions.

Together, we can ensure that all members of our community feel valued by treating Wildcats how they want to be treated—the #CrimsonRule.

Living Our Values


Central Washington University believes that a diversity of peoples, cultures, and ideas are essential to learning, discovery, and creativity, as well as nurtures authentic relationships built on mutual respect, responsibility, and reciprocity. By actively seeking consent, respecting boundaries, and stepping up when you witness harm or believe others need help, you have the power to shape a culture of respect and belonging on our campus.
