Who is eligible to host a Dawg Daze event?
Dawg Daze Events can be hosted by campus departments, registered student organizations, and community sponsors. If your organization is not affiliated with the University of Washington or if you do not have a NetID, please reach out to ddadmin@uw.edu for information on event hosting and sponsorship.
The room I'd like to use isn't available at the time of my event. What should I do?
New Student & Transfer Programs' room reservations are made several months in advance, and unfortunately cannot be adjusted to accommodate individual events. You may be able to reserve a room directly through the HUB or Event Services; however, New Student & Transfer Programs cannot cover the cost of additional reservations made by event hosts. If you have any additional questions about room reservations, email dawgdaze@uw.edu.
How do I use the technology in my assigned classroom?
The Classrooms Website provides details about the technology in your room and information about how to use the technology in the “Room Instructions” link at the bottom right of each classroom page. For additional technology help, call 206-221-5000 and select option 2.
My event has already been published. Can I make changes to it?
Yes, please send an email to dawgdaze@uw.edu if you would like to make changes.
Can I reserve a table from New Student & Transfer Programs?
No, NSTP does not have tables available for events. Registered RSOs can request tables from the Student Organization Resource Center.
How can I request student volunteers for my event?
Dawg Daze Leaders (DDLs) are returning undergraduate student volunteers and can help with tasks such as equipment setup/takedown, crowd management, handing out materials! UW Departments can request student volunteers via the event submission form. You will be prompted to fill out additional information about shift times and expectations. Dawg Daze Leaders are not available for RSO hosted events.
We will do our best to schedule volunteers for your event, but cannot guarantee the availability of Dawg Daze Leaders.
It's the day of my Dawg Daze Event and more students showed up than I was expecting — the room I reserved through NSTP does not have capacity for all of them, can I get a new room?
Unforunately, we are not able to accommodate day-of room changes. We recommend having a way to collect the contact information of the students who were not able to make it to your event because of room capacity and follow up with them afterwards about how they can get connected to your department/RSO/campus resource!
What are the guidelines for events?
All programming events and sponsorship opportunities should align with the mission and guiding philosophies of New Student & Transfer Programs (see below). New Student & Transfer Programs often consults with campus departments and units to ensure that messaging is aligned with current on-campus efforts. Request for event promotion and sponsorship will be considered in the context of supporting students in making connections with on-campus departments and units.
Mission and guiding philosophy
New Student & Transfer Programs fosters a successful undergraduate student experience through strategic programming that focuses on positive academic transitions and the development of learning communities. Through partnerships with faculty, staff, alumni, and student leaders our programs create the space for students to define how they will engage, learn, and thrive at the University of Washington.
Our work is guided by the following methods:
- Intentionality: We use current assessment, research, and best practices to make decisions.
- Collaboration: We develop transparent and collaborative relationships with campus and community partners.
- Diversity and Inclusion: We understand that all students have unique stories, and we support their individual learning paths.
