Our toolkits are here to help by making participation in UW events, campaigns, and programs straightforward and accessible. Toolkits include ready-to-use copy, visual assets, social media posts, stories, news and more. By using the resources found in this toolkit, we ensure a unified voice that amplifies the UW brand and shares our message more broadly.
Check back often as we add additional toolkits representing more UW initiatives and programs.
Admitted Student Day (ASD) is a fun on-campus event where newly admitted prospective students and their families learn all about the Husky Experience. The purpose of the day is to create an opportunity for potentially new Huskies to connect with faculty, staff, current Huskies and other admitted students and get a sneak peek of campus life — from academics and majors to residence halls and dining to extracurriculars — so they can see what the UW has to offer and feel confident about their college decision.
The marketing resources in this Admitted Student Day toolkit offer participating units the tools to promote and welcome students and their guests to their Admitted Student Day sessions, open houses, events or tabling using the Admitted Student Day design and brand.
Event signage/print assets
Please use the Admitted Student Day-branded signage templates to provide directions or wayfinding to your building and welcome prospective students and their guests to your space or event.
We highly recommend placing at least one double-sided (two-panel) sandwich board sign outside main building entrances. Remember, prospective students and their families may not be familiar with campus, so these visual wayfinding tools draw your audience inside your building and to your event.
UW Facilities manages all outdoor signage and can provide more information and requirements for posting. Permits are required for sandwich boards.
Event posters
Poster example
These templates are great for indoor display on floor easels, or for taping on windows, doors or walls.
We recommend having at least one sign near your activation that identifies the title of your event or session as published on the Admitted Student Day schedule of events.
Add the “Welcome to Admitted Student Day” slide to the beginning of your planned slide deck or customize your own slide(s) using the Admitted Student Day-branded template.
If your building or space has permanent screens in commons spaces, we highly recommend welcoming prospective students and families by displaying a single or rotating PowerPoint deck.
Registration for Admitted Student Day is required. Admitted students will be emailed a link to register for the event online.
Event capacity is limited. Spots fill up quickly, so we recommend students register early. Registration is limited to the admitted student and two guests.
Waitlist. Once event capacity is reached, students not yet registered are invited to join a waitlist.
Guest check-in and event badges Registered guests must check in upon arrival to campus. All registered guests will be issued Admitted Student Day badges on lanyards, which are required for entry to all sessions, tours, open houses and events.
Unable to attend or register? For students and families unable to register or attend Admitted Student Day on April 4, there are other opportunities to visit campus and connect with academic departments and campus programs. Please direct those families to the New Huskies Visits page for more information.
Guest FAQ
We recommend that UW staff participating in Admitted Student Day review the most frequently asked questions we receive from guests every year. We hope this helps you feel informed and prepared to be as welcoming as possible to prospective New Huskies and their families.
