Students Gather for January Staying Connected Hangout

In January, 15 students came together for another UW Disability Community “Staying Connected” hangout, a monthly series hosted by the DO-IT Center that gives disabled students and allies a chance to connect, relax, and spend time together. 

The space was full of conversation, laughter, and boba as students played games, met new people, and caught up with friends. DO-IT staff chatted with students about internship opportunities and set up follow-up meetings for anyone who wanted to keep those conversations going. 

Staying Connected is meant to be a low-pressure, welcoming space where community comes first. Each month may look a little different, but they will all focus on building connections and supporting students across campus. 

The next Staying Connected hangout is coming up in February, with more details to be shared soon. UW students who would like to join a future gathering should reach out to Kayla Brown (kayladb@uw.edu). We hope to see you for the next round of boba, games, and good conversation.
