Big UW, small table, real connections

The UW can feel like a big place — but it doesn’t have to be. Share a free lunch and conversation with UW students and alumni who share some of your experiences.

We’ll bring the food. You just bring yourself. All are welcome! Start growing your Husky network!

UWAA events and programs are open to everyone regardless of race, sex or other identity.
