As Husky Giving Day ends, we want to share our gratitude to the community that keeps us going. Thank you to every one of you who donated, liked, shared, and wished us well during .

Your support will help us continue to deliver a transformative educational experience for years to come.

Today is the day! It’s officially Husky Giving Day 🐾



At IAS, we plan to direct our donations towards experiential learning. These are some examples of how different donations can leave a long-lasting impact on our current and future students across all our majors!

For over 30 years, the Washington D.C. Human Rights Seminar has provided students with an opportunity to deeply examine human rights issues through face-to-face engagement with global leaders.

As a part of this experience, students spend one week in the U.S. Capitol, meeting with legislators, federal agencies, human rights NGOs, foreign embassies, and think tanks to investigate human rights violations and possible policy responses.

Help us continue to provide access to this program and similar experiential opportunities by supporting the Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences Educational Access and Opportunity Scholarship Fund on Giving Day.

It’s almost time! Husky Giving Day is this Thursday, April 4!!

Get ready Huskies! Husky Giving Day will be live April 4, 2024!!

What is Husky Giving Day?

Husky Giving Day is a 24-hour period during which alumni and friends come together to support the people, programs, projects and causes they care about most at the University of Washington. Join us to support the people, programs and causes you care about most.

At IAS, we plan to direct our donations towards experiential learning. Over the next week, we’ll be sharing what kinds of opportunities can be funded through the generous support of your donations.
