With UW Family Weekend 2025 wrapped up, November brings a season of reflection and celebration at the University of Washington and the Parent & Family Program. From honoring veterans to uplifting first-generation students, this month is full of moments that remind us of what it means to be part of the #UWFamily.
Family Weekend Highlights
More than 6,600 guests joined us to cheer on their Husky, enjoy volleyball, football, and soccer, and celebrate campus life together. We have captured every moment with our public photo album! Go check it out!
Celebrate with Us
Veterans Appreciation Week (Nov 8-15)
UW honors the service of veterans and military-connected Huskies with events and reflections across campus
First-Generation College Celebration (Nov 8)
We’re proud to uplift first-generation students who are the first in their families to attend college. UW is here to support and celebrate every step of the journey
Resources for Your Husky During the Darker Months
Shorter days can impact mood and energy. Remind your Husky to take care with on-campus support resources:
Every Husky gets one free clinic visit each quarter at Husky Health. It’s our way of keeping students healthy, supported, and ready to thrive on campus. Make sure they take advantage of this amazing resource
Huskies can tap into free Health Sciences Library resources such as expert research help to light therapy lamps that boost focus and energy during Seattle’s gray days and colder weathers
From the 24/7 Husky Helpline to Let’s Talk drop‑in consultations, your student has free, confidential support each quarter. Whether it’s a late‑night call or a quick chat on campus, UW makes sure mental health care is always within reach
Fuel For Finals – Thu, Dec 4
We’ll be on campus with snacks, encouragement, and Husky spirit right before exam week! More details to come on our socials!
Bundle Up for Basketball Season
As the weather cools, Husky basketball heats up! Families can score discounted tickets to select men’s games! This is a great way to stay connected and spirited throughout the winter!
