Welcome Back! elcome back, Huskies! We’re thrilled to have all the Dawgs back on campus, and to be embarking on what is sure to be another fantastic Fall quarter. During these crisp autumn days, between sips of your pumpkin spice latte and cheers for those splendid Seahawks, be sure to take a peek at all the terrific offerings from the UW Career Center. We’ve hit the ground running, packing September and October full of exciting career events and opportunities. And of course there’s always staff on-hand to answer all your career and job search questions: stop by for an informative workshop, come see us for an individual counseling appointment, and don’t forget our ever-popular walk-in service. Craving the return of “Lost” and can’t seem to get enough candy corn? We can’t help you there. But for all things careers—give us a call. And welcome back!
Huskies Bring Home the Gold... In More Ways than One. US News & World Report (2008) named us the 11th best public university in America. Sure, the Center for World-Class Universities (2008) called us the fourth best public university on the planet. And yeah, Sierra Magazine (2008) ranked UW as the ninth “coolest” university, praising us for “getting our green on.” But did you know that 16 Huskies representing five different countries competed in the Olympics in Beijing this summer and three of them brought home gold? They’re too tall and muscular to call them “well-rounded”, but darn it all if these Huskies don’t have all kinds of hidden talents. (As if you needed further proof of the power of the Dawgs.) s180908
