Welcome to the University of Washington! The 2025 International Husky Welcome sessions will be held virtually this summer in regions around the world. Staff from UW CIRCLE will facilitate these sessions to guide you through the first steps of college, introduce you to campus resources, and connect you with student-organizations and peers from your region.
Sign up to attend one of the nine sessions below based on your time zone and language. All times are region specific. You are also welcome to join other sessions if the time for your region does not work for you.
All 2025 virtual welcome sessions will be held on Zoom, a free online video meeting platform widely used at the UW, including Advising & Orientation. Before your session begins, visit this webpage to install Zoom properly and log in to UW Zoom meetings with your NetID. If you have any questions, email uwcircle@uw.edu.
