Hello Huskies,
I hope your spring quarter is off to a good start! As we head into the last few months of the academic year, I encourage you to take time to explore our beautiful campus. Visit the cherry blossoms in the Quad, stop by the UW Botanic Gardens, rent a canoe at the Waterfront Activities Center or enjoy some of the UW’s other hidden gems such as the Biology Greenhouse, Jacobsen Observatory or Medicinal Herb Garden.
Sincerely,
Denzil

Navigating the UW
New student award and contest deadlines
Big rewards await for those who apply to UW Libraries’ student awards! First, the Libraries’ annual 1-minute video contest has extended its deadline to April 30! Second, applications are now open for the Undergraduate Research Award — group projects, posters, papers and more accepted; deadline May 1. Prizes range from $500–$1,500!
Academic accommodations
Disability Resources for Students (DRS) works with UW students to ensure equal access to UW academic programs and services. Students should engage DRS as soon as possible once they have identified a barrier and/or need. It can take between 1-5 weeks, sometimes longer, to receive and implement accommodations. Accommodations are determined through an interactive process between both student and DRS staff.
Bike locks and safe storage
In the time it takes for you to attend a class or grab a cup of coffee, a bike thief could be pedaling away. Even if you’re making a brief stop, lock up your bike. Learn more about the best locks to use and safe storage options.
