Mask distribution for International Huskies

A message from the CIRCLE office

Dear International Huskies,

As we prepare to welcome you back for a new academic year, we want to take this opportunity to first reiterate our commitment to you and your academic success. Despite being on remote operations, please remember that University services continue to be accessible to you whether you are in Seattle, back in your home country, or somewhere else in the world.

Even when this pandemic has disrupted our University environment, the Husky spirit continues on. To help us show our Husky pride, the University has made UW-branded masks available to all students. The masks are part of the HUSKY PACK Pledge, where we remind each other about the community responsibility we have to keep each other safe.

The HUSKY PACK masks will be mailed to all UW students who have a current U.S. mailing address. We know that the pandemic forced many students to reconsider their living arrangements, which may include living outside of the greater Seattle area. To ensure that these masks get to you, we ask that you complete this short survey to give us your mailing address for autumn quarter 2020. To protect your information, the survey will ask you to log in using your UW NetID and password.

If you are planning to remain in your home country for autumn 2020, we still encourage you to complete the survey. This way, we can ensure that we have a mask ready for you for when you arrive. The CIRCLE staff will follow up later in the year to make sure we have an updated U.S. mailing address.

Masks will be mailed to students who submit current U.S. mailing addresses the week of September 21st. If you are in the Seattle area and would prefer an in-person pickup, we will have some days for in-person distribution. You can tell us your preference via the survey, but please note that these in-person pickups will follow social distancing guidelines.

If you have any questions about this message or the HUSKY PLEDGE masks, feel free to email us at uwcircle@uw.edu. The survey will remain open until September 18, 2020.

We look forward to welcoming you for autumn 2020. Go Huskies!
