Paid Opportunity for Students: How Huskies Heal Interview Team

Build Community Through Discussions on Healing: Apply to the How Huskies Heal Interview Team!

Each member of our UW community has diverse views based on different life experiences, value systems, and notions of health. Winner of the 2020-2021 Husky Seed Fund Award, How Huskies Heal will be a published anthology of interviews with members of the UW community that discuss the subjectivity of healing. We hope How Huskies Heal will illustrate there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, and function as a novel resource for current and future professionals in providing collaborative care.

By interviewing Husky students, faculty, and staff, Interview Team members will explore and engage with diverse views on healing. This is a  paid opportunity and interview content will be published in the final How Huskies Heal publication in Spring 2021. Ideal candidates are Health Sciences students interested in cultivating therapeutic communication skills and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Applicants must complete the Catalyst Survey application by August 5th, 2020, be a current UW student (Health Sciences students preferred) and not a current or recent employee of the UW, possess strong communication skills, and have interest in cultivating therapeutic communication skills and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Please refer to the attached flyer for information on Interview Team member duties, application requirements, and payment for services.

If you have any questions about the project and/or application, please email howhuskiesheal@uw.edu.
