It’s almost time to send our #NewHuskies2025 off to college!
Before move-in, join fellow families and incoming students at a UW Family Summer Sendoff near you to start building your UW Pack.
Hosted by current UW families and supported by UW staff and students, these fun and welcoming gatherings offer a chance to connect, celebrate, and feel part of the Husky community—before the first day of class.

What to Expect
Held at local venues and family homes across the country, Summer Sendoffs are designed to help you:
  • Swap stories, ask questions, and share tips with experienced Huskies
  • Grab spirited purple-and-gold swag to show your UW pride
  • Enjoy light refreshments and casual conversation (offerings vary by location)
These free events are open to guests of all ages, but advance registration is required for every attendee—including your new Husky.
