Undergraduates —
Who are you becoming, and what will you stand for?
We want you to be confident about your choices and your plans for the future. As an important element of your UW education, academic advisers will partner with you to provide an opportunity for feedback and reflection, encouraging you to find your voice and engage with the University.
Together, we will explore how your unique goals, values, & interests can shape your Husky Experience.
