About me: Hi people! I'm Hamza, a fourth-year interdisciplinary honors student majoring in informatics and international studies. I grew up in the Eastside (Redmond area) and came to UW through the Robinson Center. I'd love to chat about my experiences in taking honors courses, doing undergraduate research for the experiential learning requirement, and the logistics of doing a double degree. I'm also super excited to be a peer facilitator for HONORS 100 this fall! I know from experience that adjusting to university can be daunting, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about anything at all, or even if you just want to chat! :)))
