In 1861, the University of Washington was founded with its campus in downtown Seattle. By 1865, the University moved to the present-day campus in northeast Seattle, now known as the "University District." The Student Assembly was founded in 1900. This organization was the precursor of ASUW. On April 20th, 1906, the Associated Students of the University of Washington was incorporated under Washington state law as a non-profit organization. Today, ASUW is 106 years old.
The Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) is a nonprofit that acts as the undergraduate student government on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. The structure of ASUW is a complex composition of government, corporation, advocacy, and programming elements which have been created and modified by thousands of students over more than a hundred years. The ASUW works closely with the Student Advisory Office (SAO) and the Graduate and Professional Student Senate GPSS in providing services for not only undergraduates but also clubs and graduate students.
