We’re thrilled to welcome our incoming graduate students from historically underrepresented communities and backgrounds to the University of Washington.

Getting Connected is an excellent opportunity for connection and community across disciplines.

Our Virtual Student Panel event provides a space for our graduate students to learn tips and tricks for succeeding in graduate school from continuing students. Through our panelists’ unique experiences, perspectives, and insights, incoming graduate students can get a taste of grad student life and set the stage for a vibrant first year.
