Registration is now open! The Office of Graduate Student Equity & Excellence (GSEE) is hosting a virtual New Student Welcome on Wednesday, July 30th from 1:00-2:30pm PDT via Zoom.
Register for GSEE’s New Student Welcome at https://apply.grad.uw.edu/register/newstudentwelcome2025.
Note: GSEE does not have access to updated incoming student listservs until the start of Fall Quarter, so we rely on you, our wonderful colleagues to spread the word to your incoming graduate students in the meantime!
Please share the below information about GSEE’s upcoming Virtual New Student Welcome:
The Office of Graduate Student Equity & Excellence, is thrilled to welcome our incoming graduate students from diverse perspectives and experiences! GSEE aims to cultivate a social environment in which all graduate students can learn and thrive while attending the UW.
It can be incredibly challenging to move to a new city/region/country to attend graduate school. We also recognize how jarring it can be to return to life as an academic after many years in the workforce. Know that GSEE is here for you to help you in fostering community and a sense of belonging as you begin your journey in graduate school!
Join us via ZOOM for a virtual meet & greet for incoming master’s, Ph.D., and professional students. We will be hosting a student panel, as well as breakout rooms, to exchange strategies on transitioning to the UW (past topics have included: Community Building, Student Activism/Advocacy, Navigating Housing, and Free Chat. Join us to see what topics emerge this year!).
We look forward to (virtually) seeing you soon!
The GSEE Team
