Listen to the two recorded webinars below to learn more about how to leverage your network in a job/internship search process and start building relationships with the people you want to learn more about.

Hello Advisers,
As students come in to plan for winter quarter registration, remember to recommend EDUC 200 Resilience Skills for College and Beyond.
The class will be particularly helpful for first year and/or transfer students to get started out with tips and tools to make the most out of their time at UW!
In EDUC 200, students learn skills to enhance their wellbeing in college and in their life in general. Particular focus is paid to skills that help students withstand common difficulties in life, like a disagreement with a loved one, tolerating doing work you don’t want to do, and managing negative emotions in a healthy way. Skills will include but will not be limited to mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Students will also learn about research underlying stress, resilience, and related skill areas.
This 5 credit class meets for lectures on Wednesday late afternoons with a one hour lab section on Fridays for small group activities. The class also provides I&S credits.
EDUC 200 Resilience Skills for College and Beyond allows students to work towards their best life while earning credit! Remember to recommend this class!
Take care,

We hope students from around the region are hard at work, checking out campus maker spaces, talking to their potential customers,and testing and modifying their prototypes, as they set themselves up for the 2019 Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship competitions. The competitions are open to all college students, grads and undergrads, across the Pacific Northwest. On the UW Seattle campus we are hosting a number of workshops and team formation nights where speakers talk about design thinking, maker space equipment available to students, how to do market validation, customer discovery and more. We also have students who have gone through the competitions in past years come back to share their experiences. All of this helps this year’s cohort of students learn what the competitions are all about so they will get excited about jumping in and bringing a project of their own into the mix.
How do you tap in to all of this wealth of information? Join our social media channels where video highlights will be shared over the next few months.
