Hi Huskies,
Hope your Winter quarter is off to a good start! I encourage you to make the most of your Husky Experience by trying something new this quarter – take a class at the IMA, meet with a Peer Wellness Coach or join a Registered Student Organization. It’s a great way to begin 2023!
We’re celebrating the new year with a new look for the Pawket Guide. Let us know what you think – email dawglife@uw.edu.
Sincerely,
Denzil
