Native American Student Day is a one-day conference for high school students who are interested in attending the University of Washington Seattle. NASD was created to encourage students to pursue higher education as well as give them the opportunity to experience the UW. Attendees will meet current UW staff and students, learn about campus programs, attend a UW admissions presentation, prepare for a successful first-year application, and discover the diversity and unity that exist in the UW community.
Native American Student Day is open to all WA state 9th – 11th grade students, and aims to create a welcoming, inclusive space for American Indian/Alaska Native students and anyone interested in building community, exploring American Indian/Alaska Native cultures, and connecting with student organizations and support resources available at the UW.
