Pacific Islander Virtual Workshop is designed to support Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander high school Sophomores and Juniors who are interested in applying to the University of Washington. This virtual workshop aims to provide students with a clear understanding of the UW admissions process and the tools needed to become a strong applicant. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from current UW students of Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander backgrounds during a student panel, where they will share their experiences of finding community and belonging on campus, as well as the resources that have supported their journey at UW.
Note: Participation is open to all students regardless of race/ethnic background.

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.
