Awardees develop project management and leadership skills while they execute impactful and inventive strategies to elevate the Husky Experience. This is a truly unique opportunity to strengthen the entire Husky community by promoting inclusivity and helping to make all students feel that they have a home at the UW. A previously funded project which has received statewide and nationwide recognition is the Indigenous Walking Tour.
We are also proud to support the 2023 winners:
- Pathways for All Huskies – Illuminating campus pathways everyone can navigate.
- Huskies’ Precious Plastics – Transforming waste plastics into usable items.
- Eat Together – Connecting students through meals together.
The Husky Experience Student Advisory Council encourages all students to explore the Husky Seed Fund website, attend or view an information session, and/or contact seedfund@uw.edu for more information.
