Connect you with other new international Huskies in your region!
Regional Connection Groups (RCG) connect new international Huskies by region via social media groups. We have several RCG group chats in Wechat, WhatsApp, Kakao, Line and Instagram. Find and join your assigned RCG from your New Husky Checklist or from our RCG list linked below. Once you have joined the group successfully, a Peer Connection Leader (PCL) will be there to welcome you and guide you through the next steps.
Sessions and schedule
Throughout the summer, we will offer many Zoom sessions in small groups to help you learn about resources and tips to help you succeed and enjoy life at UW. Please review our program schedule for information on weekly sessions.
RCG Goals
RCG is designed to help new international students:
- Connect with other Huskies from the same area and create a community before arriving on campus
- Develop a college mindset that values communication and critical thinking
- Support your transition to UW every step of the way and help you build a support system for college success
- Have some fun!
