About the Event

Description

Rising SEAs is a conference designed for high school students who are interested in applying to the University of Washington Seattle. The purpose of the conference is to encourage, motivate and empower students to purse higher education, as well as to give them an opportunity to experience what the University of Washington has to offer.

Participants will meet UW staff and current UW Southeast Asian students, receive information on college admission, campus programs, and resources. Through interactive workshops, the collective space will provide an opportunity for participants to share their cultural experience and build community with fellow participants to prepare for a successful first-year application

Rising SEAS is open to all WA state 9th – 11th grade students, and aims to create a welcoming, inclusive space for Southeast Asian students and anyone interested in building community, exploring Southeast Asian cultures, and connecting with student organizations and support resources available at the UW.
