2022 Virtual International Husky send-offs
Join your fellow new huskies online this summer to celebrate and get ready for fall quarter!
Welcome to the University of Washington! Join in the festivities as current UW students, alumni, staff and parents wish new Huskies well before they leave for the UW. The 2022 International Husky Send-offs will be held virtually this summer in regions around the world. These sessions and activities will guide you through the first steps of college, introduce you to campus resources, and connect you with each other. Each Send-off is facilitated by current UW student leaders in coordination with staff from UW CIRCLE.
All 2022 virtual Send-offs will be held on Zoom, a free online video meeting platform. Zoom is widely used at the UW and will be the platform you would use to participate in Advising & Orientation. After you register for a Send-off session below, you will receive a confirmation link. Please note that you will need to download Zoom to your computer or cell phone and create an account before you can join the meeting. To learn more about Zoom and how to download it, click the “Zoom Step-by-Step Instructions” section on this page.
In addition to the send-offs, there might be some in-person activities hosted by UW registered student organizations. These activities will be hosted if each country’s public health guidelines allow.
NOTE: All times are region specific. Make sure to take note when registering for the event.
