Description

“Poly Day” as it is commonly known, is a celebration of Polynesian culture hosted by the Polynesian Student Alliance (PSA) at the University of Washington.

This year’s event will highlight the strength and active presence of the Pacific Islander community here on campus and will feature University of Washington’s Micronesian Islands Club, as well as performances from other participating colleges and universities from around Washington State. There will be numerous workshops for high school students to attend that are facilitated by Pacific Island let students and faculty as well as local Pacific Islander community organizations who will all share knowledge on Pacific Islander culture, history, the admissions process, and more!

At around noon, the members of the Polynesian Student Alliance and Micronesian Islands Club will host the signature celebration of “Poly Day,” where members perform cultural dances in honor of their Pacific Islander heritage for all to attend.

This annual event aims to voice the presence of a lively and active P.I. community on campus and motivate younger generations of P.I.s to pursue higher education.

Application Workshops are for underrepresented high school seniors (Class of 2024) in Washington who are interested in applying to the University of Washington as freshmen. Participants will receive support with filling out their UW application using one of two platforms – ApplyWeb or the Common App. This workshop is designed for you to stop in during the workshop times to receive the support you need. You may stay the entire time, or come and go as needed to get help with your application.

The program focuses its resources on serving American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and Southeast Asian students.
