Get the Parent Insider
The newsletter built for UW families
The Parent Insider lands in your inbox monthly during the academic year. Deadlines that matter, conversation prompts for your Husky, family event invites, and what is happening on campus this month. Sign up takes about thirty seconds.
What is in a typical issue
Deadlines that matter
Family Orientation registration windows, FERPA and access form reminders, financial aid checkpoints, housing milestones, and the dates your student might forget to mention.
Conversation prompts
Talk With Your Husky prompts tied to what is happening on campus right now. The kind of questions that open a real conversation rather than a yes-or-no answer.
Family events and campus moments
Summer Sendoffs, the Move-In Family Lounge, UW Family Weekend, regional gatherings, and seasonal visit guides. Plus the campus stories you would want a friend to forward you.
Other ways to stay close
New UW Families group
Verified-status Facebook group for current UW families. We confirm each member’s connection to a UW student before approving access, so you can ask real questions in a trusted space.
Facebook page
Daily campus stories, dean and provost messages, family event reminders, and the moments that make UW feel like home from wherever you are.
Husky moments and seasonal campus shots. Quad blossoms in spring, fall colors on Red Square, traditions you remember and traditions still being made.
