We welcome alumni who want to host students in person throughout the WWAMI region. Please note, if your event is far from one of the foundations site cities (Seattle, Spokane, Anchorage, Moscow, Bozeman, and Laramie), student registration may be low. We recommend that those outside the WWAMI region and those in areas with stricter COVID regulations register to host virtually.

Session Location

SAID events are typically held in the home or at a restaurant. If you would prefer to decide the exact location of your event closer to the date, simply write “TBD” in the form.

Please select the date (Oct. 1 - Dec. 19) you will host a virtual or in-person SAID event. Please do not schedule your discussion on a Sunday night; students often have exams on Mondays, which could affect attendance. Please also be mindful of Veterans Day (11/11) and Thanksgiving (11/25) holidays.*

We recommend planning for events that last one to two hours. Virtual events tend to work best with a 90 minute timeframe, while in person events tend to last longer.

COVID-19 Risk Acknowledgement*

I agree.

UW Medicine is following UW, local and national COVID-19 safety guidelines for small gatherings such as SAID events; however, contact with individuals outside of your household is not completely without risk.

I acknowledge that my attendance at these in-person events is optional, that virtual options have been offered, and that in attending this event in person, I do so at my own risk. I understand that if local conditions change, this event may be moved to an online format, which the alumni office will facilitate. I agree to abide by the COVID safety measures required by the School of Medicine and that I will notify the event organizer at any time if I am concerned about my level of COVID safety risk.
