Hello Huskies,
Spring is here, and that brings three things to our campus:
- Midterms. If you need study help for exams, or at any other time of the quarter, there are abundant academic support resources available, including departmental advising, test prep, tutoring and exam reviews.
- Commencement. This is one of my favorite days of the year! I can’t wait to celebrate with all of our graduating students and their families. If you’re graduating in June, consult the graduation checklist to make sure you’re on track.
- Spring weather. Be sure to enjoy some sun during these final weeks of the year. Being outdoors is great for your mental and physical health, so give yourself a boost by studying outside, going for a walk or heading to the Waterfront Activities Center to spend some time on the water.
Sincerely,
Denzil
Husky Experience
Report hazing anonymously with new tool
If you see or experience hazing at the UW, you can now report it anonymously with RealResponse. Text 206-203-3435, and a UW staff member will guide you through the reporting process during regular business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.). Photos and videos are welcome. With RealResponse, your identity stays private unless you choose to share it. Your voice matters — let’s work together to keep our campus safe and respectful for everyone by preventing hazing. The Student Technology Fee funds this tool.

Help make the UW a better place
