The Valiant Mentoring Program is a near-peer mentoring program that supports first generation undergraduates in the College of the Environment as they navigate their academic and professional journey in the environmental sciences. Students will take part in interactive class sessions, get personalized support from a near-peer mentor, connect with a cohort of peers, and gain best practices for navigating the “hidden curriculum” in higher-ed. The program runs from Autumn 2025 to Spring 2026. Apply by August 18, 2025.

Are you interested in:

The origin of life?
The search for habitable worlds?
Extremophiles?
Interdisciplinary research?

We are thrilled to announce ORIGINS: Life in the Universe as the first undergraduate astrobiology RSO at UW. We aim to promote undergraduate engagement in astrobiology through a journal club approach and provide a space to share resources, discuss research, and occasionally get existential. Come see us at our first meeting on January 22nd, 7PM at BobaUp on the Ave! 

It’s finally here, the new Marine Biology merchandise designs you all voted for! Launched by the marine biology undergraduate student club (the UW SeaDawgs RSO), all purchases go to support the club, which broadly supports our undergraduate community across the marine sciences programs.
We welcome all MarBio majors, minors, faculty, staff, and fans to check out the storefront linked below. New designs are available on apparel, accessories, and stickers.
