When you’re a Husky, you not only get an outstanding education. You also get a chance to take part in rewarding and fun groups and activities – especially for University of Washington students.
Get moving
From rock climbing to cardio, basketball to kayaking, swimming to golf, and intramural sports to mindfulness. UW Recreation has options for everyone.
Join a group
Did you know there are more than 1,000 registered student organizations (RSOs)? Find out more about them – and about participating in student government – at the Student Activities Office in the HUB.
Stay informed
Keep up with what’s happening with The Daily, the UW student-run newspaper. Or contribute to the paper by writing, editing, illustrating, designing or selling ads for the paper.
Go Greek
Philanthropic projects. Lifelong friendships. Building community. Fraternities and sororities can offer a support system, while giving you an opportunity to grow and help others.
Enjoy your campus home
Living in student housing provides a great way to meet new people, get involved in your residence hall community and join in fun activities.
Get into politics
The Associated Students of the University of Washington is the student government at the UW. The ASUW works to serve students and improve student life.
Join grad student government
The Graduate and Professional Student Senate represents graduate and professional students at the UW. GPSS works to support and improve all aspects of graduate and professional student life.
Develop your potential
Visit the Samuel E. Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center to discover resources and opportunities, including student advising, organizational development, personal growth and referrals to different departments and programs.
Prepare for your future
Explore career options, build skills and get experience with support from the Career & Internship Center. Attend a workshop or a career fair or get one-on-one coaching.
Promote health
Volunteer with Peer Health Educators, a group of students who facilitate workshops about health issues to groups all over campus.
