Schedule of Events

	Festive kiosks advertise upcoming events for new students

You'll receive a Dawg Daze schedule of events at Check-In. Be sure to check in for Dawg Daze when you first arrive on campus! Your Schedule of Events and Dawg Pass/Visual Schedule will both help you choose which events and workshops you want to attend throughout the next week.

Dawg Daze Dozen

The Dawg Daze Dozen are the events and activities all new students will want to attend. They are necessary experiences for students starting out at UW: making friends, connecting with professors, finding your passion and learning the keys to balance are the recipes for success as a UW student. We've created these Keynote Events to help you craft your own path - so don't miss out on what everybody will be talking about on the first day of school!

	The officers of the freshman honor society, Phi Eta Sigma, prepare to welcome new students.
