A number of University of Washington departments and programs maintain email lists for students. The messages sent out include descriptions of new courses, changes in requirements, upcoming deadlines, information about internship and research opportunities, scholarship information, and announcements of upcoming lectures and events.
The programs listed below maintain lists and welcome prospective students as well as students currently in the program. If the program you are considering is listed, we recommend you subscribe. Some of the information won't be applicable to students not actually in the major, but the messages will give you the flavor of the program and an idea of what opportunities are available to its students.
To enroll, just click on the list name, log in (if necessary), and click "subscribe." For more on Mailman lists at the UW, visit the UW Mailman website.
