Available Advisors
Not able to find advising times? Sign up for a general session
Throughout the summer months, the Office of Undergraduate Research may have limited staffing availability for general advising. As a result, we encourage you to sign up for a general information session for July or August 2026! These sessions will cover the basics in approaching undergraduate research here at the UW. These sessions are virtual.
Please note that our advisors are only able to meet with students who are currently enrolled as undergraduates at UW.
