Student Life
Your Husky Experience doesn’t end when you leave the classroom. The time you spend outside of class can be just as transformative.
Joshua, 2018 Biology and Diversity
My Husky Experience shaped me into a globally minded citizen [who’s] fully equipped to impact the world. As a physician-scientist, I’ll push the bounds of medicine to ameliorate health disparities as I actively inspire the next generation of health professionals to do the same.
Mitch, 2018 Political Science and Law, Societies & Justice
At UW, I’ve worked for the Seattle Mayor’s Office, interned for the House of Representatives and created a clothing donation service for low-income transgender youth.
Kamaka’ike (Natalie), 2019 Public Health and Anthropology — Medical Anthropology & Global Health
As a proud Native Hawaiian student, I have learned to navigate both traditional and Western ways of knowing in this institution, especially through research and storytelling.
