There are a few things to know about this link:

• The presentation is not downloadable. It is view only through this link and only people with the link can view it.
• The link will only be available for one month.
• The Grad Office and GFIS are working on new funding videos that our offices can more permanently host on our sites. While we appreciate the Zoom recording as a temporary way to assist students, the newer content, we hope, will be more sustainable, accessible, and ultimately more helpful to UW’s vast and diverse graduate student populations. We can provide updates on this newer content later in spring quarter.

Coming soon will be a recording of the April 14th session for international, DACA, and non-DACA graduate students.
