Join us for the Pasifika Pathways to the UW where you will hear from current NH/PI staff and students at the University of Washington about their experiences navigating higher education!
Pasifika Pathways to the UW is a virtual program created to empower and motivate high school students who are interested in pursuing higher education. Co-led by NH/PI UW staff and students, each session will cover a different college or career-related topic such as the admissions process, essay preparation, cultural storytelling, identity exploration, how to get involved in your communities, professional panels, and cultivating skills for wellness and post-secondary success. High school students of all grades are welcome to participate.
This program is open to all high school students. However, students from Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander backgrounds may find this program of particular interest. Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander students include but are not limited to Samoan, Tongan, Tahitian, Fijian, Māori, Chamorro, and other Micronesian, Melanesian and other Pacific Islander heritages. This community also embraces students from mixed-race backgrounds. People of all identities are welcome to join and engage.
