Throughout April
Member Appreciation Month presented by BECU
A whole month of celebration
Every April, we like to give a special shout-out to the people who make our mission of supporting students and standing up for higher education possible — you, our members! Thank you for your continued support; we couldn’t do it without you.
- Gather at venues from Seattle to New York for Husky fun and Purple Pride.
- Play games together or just get together for fun — play is what you make of it!
- Connect with your fabulous Husky community, special April member benefits and the satisfaction of volunteering.
Special thanks also to Member Appreciation Month presenting partner BECU. A member-owned, not-for-profit credit union, BECU and the UWAA have been partners in the idea that investing in education and excellence strengthens the UW, the Puget Sound and the world at large.
