The Forum was established in the fall of 1998 under a three-year
grant from the Henry M. Jackson Foundation. As the outreach arm
of the Evans School, The Forum brings combined strength in its capacity
for civic engagement and the depth and breadth of policy research
at the school and throughout the University of Washington.
The Forum promotes thoughtful discussion among
citizens and leaders in the local, national and international arenas.
Below are just a few highlights.
