Connect/View ProfileHi there, it's great to meet you! My name's Gargi and I'm a freshman majoring in Computer Science. UW's CS program is awesome, but it can be difficult to take STEM classes all day every day. That's why I love being a part of the Honors program. It lets me explore the Humanities in different ways, through classes and discussions, and brings balance to my class schedule every quarter. More than classes, though, the best part of the Honors program is the community. They empower you to achieve your goals, and have fun while you do it! I'm so glad you're interested in joining the Honors program, and I would be more than happy to get in touch and answer your questions through email or Zoom. Have a great day!

I also enjoy going on hikes, learning to cook new things, listening to Andy Grammer, and exploring the city! Like many others, my first year was definitely affected by COVID, but joining the honors program has still been one of my best decisions.

Connect/View ProfileHi! My name is Isabel, I also go by Isa :) I'm a First Year pre-nursing student here at the UW. I also love taking American Ethnic Studies courses - whether that turns into a Double Degree or a minor, I guess we'll have to wait and find out! I will be applying to UW's nursing school in the Fall and hope to begin my Nursing School journey at UW soon! Some of my hobbies include cooking for my roommate, reading domestic thrillers, participating in UW's soccer intramurals, running, and spending time with family. I also am a part of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life Club :) I decided to join the Honors program because I was a bit nervous at how big UW is and wanted to be a part of a smaller community. Not only have I felt the welcoming warmth from the Honors group, but some of my favorite classes have been Honors classes. Please reach out if you have any questions or just want to chat!

Connect/View ProfileHello Honors community! My name is Jaya, and I am a first-year student intending to double-major in Law, Societies, Justice and Global Studies. I'm from Evanston, Illinois originally, so the PNW is a nice change of pace from the Midwest! I am a peer educator for Interdisciplinary Honors, Director of my residence hall's Hall Council, and hope to go to law school after UW to pursue Human Rights Law. My interests outside of school include reading (lots of James Baldwin), going to concerts, and playing guitar. If you want to chat about the Honors program, pre-law pathways, or being an out-of-state student, please reach out :)
