In September, you will be contacted by your Peer Coach who will serve as your mentor and personal guide to UW Bothell throughout Fall quarter. This peer will set-up monthly meetings with you to go over your goals, answer questions, and point you in the right direction as you create your Husky experience. |

A personal computer or tablet with internet access to and sound will be ideal to fully participate in the orientation process.
