The University of Washington (UW) Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity, cordially invites you to participate in the Readiness for Islander Success in Education Conference (RISE). RISE will be held at the University of Washington-Seattle Campus on Friday, October 26, 2012.


The RISE Conference is a FREE one-day conference for Pacific Islander high school juniors and seniors who are interested in attending the University of Washington-Seattle. RISE was created to encourage Pacific Islander students to pursue higher education, as well as give them a closer view of the UW through the eyes of academic excellence and diversity enhancement. Participants will have the opportunity to meet future classmates, learn about campus programs, and discover the diversity and unity that exists within the UW community. They will participate in writing and application workshops, cultural activities and get a chance to experience life as a future Husky!

Apply early, as participation in this conference will be based on a “first-come, first-serve” eligibility and availability basis. Please note that priority will be given to students with at least a 2.5 or higher GPA. The application is available online, and due no later than Friday, October 19, 2012.
