SEA Dawgs: Southeast Asian Professionals
We are thrilled to extend a special invitation to Multicultural Outreach & Recruitment’s SEA Dawgs program supporting Southeast Asian high school students in their college readiness. Learn how to prepare for your UW admissions application, build community and relationships, develop professionally and explore your culture and identity.
SEA Dawgs is a virtual program created to empower and motivate Southeast Asian high school students who are interested in pursuing higher education. Co-led by Southeast Asian UW staff and students, each session will cover a different college or career-related topic such as:
- Cultural storytelling
- Identity exploration
- Getting involved in your communities
- Professional panels
- Cultivating skills for wellness and post-secondary success
Our goal is to create a warm and identity-affirming space where you can build community with UW students and staff and gain the tools and knowledge to pursue your educational goals.
This program is open to all. However, students from Southeast Asian backgrounds in grades 9-11 may find this program of particular interest.
Southeast Asian students include, but are not limited to, those from ethnic backgrounds such as Khmer, Khmer Loeu, Khmer Krom, Hmong, Mien, Khmu, Lao, Taidam, Tai Lue, Vietnamese, Cham, Montagnards, Karen, as well as students from Bhutanese and Burmese heritages.
