ATTENTION: The HUB is currently accepting limited advertising requests
Due to staffing constraints and changes in software, the HUB is currently accepting limited advertising requests. If you have questions, please contact thehub@uw.edu. We apologize for the inconvenience.
As the community center for the UW Seattle campus, the HUB views communications about campus events, programs, and activities intended for UW students and the promotion of the educational mission of the University as central to our mission. To this end, the HUB offers multiple methods for event promotion for use by the UW campus community.
