Hello Huskies,
Make your plans to stop by for free snacks at our Fuel for Finals event on Mar. 7 from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. Say hi to folks from some of your campus support teams — we’ll be at four locations. Make sure to bring your Husky card! Follow us on Instagram @uwstudentlife and @uw_parents for location and event updates closer to finals week.
Wishing you a successful end to winter quarter!
Sincerely,
Denzil

We see you Huskies. You’ve got this.
Psychologists studying the concept of “grit” found that the capacity to stick with a task — particularly when faced with difficulties — is a crucial factor in explaining success. Consider these strategies to help you persevere as you work to achieve your goals.

Navigating the UW
New look for 2-factor authentication
Soon, 2-factor authentication will look and behave a little different, but the verifying of your identity for UW systems isn’t changing. If you notice the new ‘duosecurity’ web address, know it’s part of enhanced security — not a scammer. Get familiar with the new look.
Summer intern housing at the UW
College and university students pursuing summer internship opportunities in the Seattle area can apply now for summer intern housing at our Seattle campus.
