We hope that you enjoyed your First-year Interest Group (FIG) GEN ST 199 course!  

How did the process go for you? What feedback do you have for your FIG Leader? By completing your FIG reflection survey, you will impact first-year students who take a FIG in the future. With your input and reflections, we will:  

• Honor every voice and recognize that one size does not fit all

• Learn about your experience as a new student at UW and in your GEN ST 199 course

• Work toward improvements in the course and other programs for first-year students

Students will receive a link in your UW email a few days before your final FIG class from figs@uw.edu. The title of the email will be "Complete the FIG Reflection." You can also access the survey here: fyp.uw.edu/qfigs

If you are unable to access the link, please contact our office, figs@uw.edu for support.
