UNITERS OF UW
Since Winter 2016, Unite UW has been breaking barriers between international and domestic students, and providing some 400 fantastic individuals the opportunity to interact and build strong connections with each other. Every single Unite UWer is an ambassador of diversity in backgrounds and experiences. We created this “Uniters of UW” initiative to celebrate a few of those individuals by diving deep into their stories, hardships and struggles, and presenting the journey that has led them to the little successes they enjoy today, as well as the huge ones they aspire to achieve tomorrow. Here at Unite UW, we believe that our past is a reminder of what we are capable of achieving in the future, and we don’t want to keep the potential of our Unite UWers to ourselves. Starting the 20th of September, we will be launching a photo series to portray a few of the these stories, to show to the world what Unite UW stands for and the people that make us, us.

"One of the most defining moments in my life was walking out of the gates of Auschwitz in Birkenau, Poland. To walk out of a place that trapped people and caused so much trauma out of my own free will was very emotional. It was pouring down rain the whole time we were touring these concentration and death camps and as soon as we walked out of the last one, the sun was shining. It was so beautiful and it felt like something special happened that day that I can’t quite put into words."
