Hi Huskies,
I hope you had a restful spring break and that your quarter is off to a good start. Between cherry blossoms and a much-needed increase in sunshine, spring is one of my favorite times on campus. Below is a collection of resources and opportunities to help you make the most of spring quarter.
Contents
1. Health and Safety
If you learn you have come into close contact with someone infected with COVID-19, it’s a good idea to get tested, even if you’re vaccinated and don’t feel sick.
You can still pick up free masks at a variety of campus locations.
- Video: New face mask guidelines for spring quarter – UW experts talk about what to expect, how current science and transmission rates inform our policy, and emotions and feelings we may experience
Staying safe after dark: Husky NightWalk provides a security escort when walking at night on campus, to/from the residential area north of 45th St., and to/from the UW Tower.
IF YOU HAVE COVID-19 SYMPTOMS
If you are currently experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, please stay home and follow the instructions for what to do if you feel sick.
2. Connecting with Community
Registered student organizations (RSOs) are a great way to connect with students who have similar interests and are looking to meet people.
- UW has nearly 1,000 RSOs. Browse the RSO Directory to see what’s out there.

Your home for play: Grab your friends (or meet a new one) for HUB Games tournaments and events! Sign up for a bowling league or pool tournament and don’t miss out on deals and discounts like Free First Mondays and $2 Tuesdays.

NEED TO TALK?
