Description
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.
We are thrilled to extend a special invitation to Multicultural Outreach & Recruitment’s SEA Dawgs program supporting Southeast Asian high school students in their college readiness. Learn how to prepare for your UW admissions application, build community and relationships, develop professionally and explore your culture and identity.
SEA Dawgs is a virtual program created to empower and motivate Southeast Asian high school students who are interested in pursuing higher education. Co-led by Southeast Asian UW staff and students, each session will cover a different college or career-related topic such as:
- Cultural storytelling
- Identity exploration
- Getting involved in your communities
- Professional panels
- 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.
The first session begins on October 22, followed by sessions on November 20, December 17 and into the new calendar year.
Best of all, attendance is free! Register to join us virtually now.
This program is open to all high school students in Washington. However, students from Southeast Asian backgrounds may find this program of particular interest.
