VETERAN ORIENTATION LUNCHEON

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM, HUB 337
RSVP: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/vetlife/305138
Student Veteran Life and Husky Veterans of the University of Washington will be hosting an orientation luncheon for graduate student veterans. The purpose of this luncheon is to welcome incoming graduate student veterans and help to familiarize them with their new home at UW. In this session, students will learn about the resources available to them on campus and in the local community, have the opportunity to ask any questions about the transition process (e.g. housing, childcare, benefits), and will meet other UW student veterans.
Though the event is geared toward new students, any current graduate student veteran is welcome to attend the luncheon. We hope to see you there!
