HUSKY PAWKET GUIDE
FROM THE DESK OF DR. DENZIL SUITE
UW DIVISION OF STUDENT LIFE
Hello Huskies,
Finals week is almost here! As you finish your classes, complete final projects and prep for exams, be sure to set yourself up for success by getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, taking care of your mental health, getting some exercise (outside if you can) and adding some breaks to your study schedule.
Best of luck on your finals, and have a wonderful spring break! We’ll see you in a few weeks.
Sincerely,
Denzil

IMA open for spring break
If you’re planning to be on campus over spring break, stop by the IMA! It’s open March 21–29 from 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Get a workout in, get some friends together to play a game, take a swim or enjoy a relaxing sauna. Note that CRAGS is closed during spring break.
Health and Well-Being
Join March Wellness
Join LiveWell for March Wellness, a tournament-style bracket highlighting the eight dimensions of well-being: physical, environmental, developmental, financial, social, spiritual, occupational and emotional.
You can participate by voting and sharing your favorite wellness practices on LiveWell’s Instagram, @uwlivewell! The bracket is a fun way to compare activities, but the real “win” is recognizing that every dimension is equally important and deeply interconnected. Give LiveWell a follow, vote for your favorite and celebrate all the different ways we practice well-being!
Navigating the UW
New civil rights course
This spring quarter, all current students will be assigned a new required course in Canvas: Understanding Civil Rights. This online course will help you better understand civil rights at the UW, with a focus on protections related to race, color and national origin (including shared ancestry and ethnicity). The course takes about 30 minutes and only needs to be completed once.
Volunteer at the food pantry
Help expand the UW Food Pantry’s capacity to serve students — volunteer during spring quarter! Volunteers stock shelves, assist customers, help with food drives and more. Commitment is a minimum of one hour per week, and orientation/training is provided.
March ArtSci Roundup
Looking for something to do this month? From art and music to conversations on culture, history and science, you can explore and connect across disciplines throughout the UW. From the Trump in the World 2.0 lecture series to concerts to plays and much more, there’s something for every interest!
