Frequently Asked Questions

Pack Advisors are peer mentors that want to help and support new incoming students transition to UW Tacoma. Pack Advisors help students connect with other students, participate in activities, and connect with campus resources.

During their first year, students will be assigned to one of four packs (Purple, Gold, Black or Gray). Your Pack Advisors will help you get to know other students, participate in activities, and provide you with helpful resources. Our motto: Huskies Work In Packs.

If you are unsure what Pack you’re in contact the Office of Student Transitions & Success at uwtstp@uw.edu or Francisco Rangel Almanza at rangelf@uw.edu.
