UW Off-Campus Orientation Programs

First Year Programs at the University of Washington will be bringing UW closer to students and families who live outside of Western Washington. For the first time, new students and families will be able to register for classes and become oriented with UW programs and services without having to leave Eastern Washington, Southern California, Northern California, and Hawaii. Alumni volunteers from these regions will be needed to help us welcome these new Huskies into our pack! If you are interested in serving as a volunteer for any of these programs, please contact Terry Hill from First Year Programs at 206-616-9221 or terryh@u.washington.edu.
