Climb to Success

How do I meet people who share my interests? What are the biggest hurdles new students face at UW? Compared to high school, what are the expectations and structures of college courses?

Coming to college will most likely be one of the most exciting and profound transitions you’ve had yet in your life. New people. New ways of learning and thinking about the world. New experiences, challenges, and accomplishments. The Summit Transition Program offers the next crucial step after orientation to helping you move into this uncharted territory with the knowledge and grounding for a successful, seamless transition. In this exciting program, you’ll meet new and advanced students at UW, uncover insights about your own personality that will help you in college and in life, listen to dynamic presentations, and participate in a Saturday event of your choice that will give you a new look at the scope of a college education. In the evenings, optional events will be offered by several organizations on campus.

The Summit Program offers invaluable preparation for handling any curves the first year might present. Focusing on key skills for college and connection with UW students and faculty, Summit will dramatically affect your mindset as you walk into your first class.
