Husky Pawket Guide
From the desk of Dr. Denzil Suite
UW Division of Student Life
Hello Husky,
It’s hard to believe, but 1/3 of autumn quarter has already gone by. It feels like you all just got here!
As we continue to settle into the quarter, now is the time to stay focused. Find the study habits and routines that work for you, go to office hours and meet your professors, and seek out tutoring or academic support if you need it.
And if you need support for things outside academics, the UW has that, too. Whether you need career coaching, healthcare or ideas on getting connected, we can help. Your faculty and staff are here to support YOU — don’t hesitate to ask us for help!
Sincerely,
Denzil
