CIRCLE
International Welcome Programs – Fall 2023
To help all new international students transition into their lives at the UW and in Seattle, CIRCLE, in coordination with key campus partners, will lead the execution of the CIRCLE International Welcome Programs (IWP) for all four (summer, fall, winter, and spring) quarters. The IWP will provide new international students with targeted and tailored programming to ensure they get the information or services that meet their unique needs.
Fall IWP will run from September 18 to September 26, 2023. We look forward to welcoming you to the University of Washington.
