Huskies Go: A Virtual Quest through UW Libraries
Thursday, September 24 – Saturday, October 3rd 11AM
A mysterious creature has been roaming through the UW Libraries since most of the campus closed in March. We need you to use the UW Libraries to track it down. How? Complete tasks that will hone your library know-how, collect raffle tickets that enter you to win awesome prizes including a Nintendo Switch Lite and Bose micro bluetooth speaker, and capture the elusive creature so that it may be revealed to all. Participants will get limited edition Dawg swag mailed to your home! Huskies, let’s go!
