Upcoming Events

The First 90 is coming to a close at the end of March and we have no more events scheduled. You can view all content from the 90 days ongoing on this page.

Connect

Microsoft Teams group. Join our group on Microsoft Teams in our own dedicated space to share resources, reflections, connect, and more. Joining our ‘team’ on Microsoft Teams is optional and will be a space to discuss what we learn throughout the 90 days in a more ‘social-media-esque’ format. Note: This space is only open to those in our group who are UW-affiliated (student, employee).
