Postseason Action!

Erin Allett

Don't mind that it's been in the upper 20s in Seattle all week, there are post-season events that need attending and the Husky Street Team is prepared for the challenge! I select golf cartings to join HST for...this was not one of my better decisions.

With hot chocolate in-hand (which froze at some point), we set off for Red Square to distribute 600+ flyers - mind you, the rest of the team hit up the Greek chapter dinners the night before.

FREE Food & Drinks @ HUB

Do you  like free food and drinks? Ha! You're a starving student, of course you do.

Well if you're looking for some free hot chocolate with some deliciously free candy to go along, come stop by the HUB on Thursdays around lunchtime and get some free giveaways from the Husky Street Team!

Don't want to take a flyer? Don't worry, Natalie will make you. 
She's so helpful.

Throw back to a Halloween weekend promoting outside of the HUB

We hand out around 100-200 hot chocolates, plus around 200 "This Week in Husky Athletics" flyers with all the Husky information you could possibly need! The week of Nov. 22 our focus was on the Men's Soccer team, who are now our PAC-12 CHAMPS!

We will be featuring a different event each week, so stop by to check out everything Husky Street Team has to offer! Plus, you get to hang out with us. Can't wait to meet more of you on campus as the year goes on and Husky Street Team dominates campus!

Love,
HST

PS. Watch Husky Volleyball take on Alabama State this Friday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. and Men's Soccer as they play in the Elite 8 this Saturday, Dec. 7 at 5 p.m. at Husky Soccer Stadium!

Golf Carts & Megaphones

Morgan Farrar

If you were on campus around lunch on any given Thursday walking through Red Square or the Quad on your way to class, you have probably seen the UW golf cart speeding by at a whopping 10 mph with a girl yelling about some Husky Athletic events through a megaphone..well, that's Natalie...and she's weird! But that's us...The Husky Street Team!

HST members Morgan, Natalie, Harry the Husky, & Sarah

Two or three of us, and sometimes a special appearance Harry the Husky (oh, yes), are on campus every week handing out 500 - 1,000 flyers depending on the athletic events that week. Last Thursday, Nov. 21, we handed out over 1,000 flyers (the majority during 10 minute passing periods, because we're a boss like that) to get students excited about #2 Husky Men's Soccer hosting and winning the first NCAA playoff game! The flyers informed everyone of the student promotions, like iPad give aways, and game time information.

Go Huskies!

Romar Pumps up Dawg Pack at "Swishes for Wishes"

Husky Hoops Are Here!

To kick off the Husky Men's Basketball season in early November, Coach Lorenzo Romar was stoked to interact with Dawg Pack members to get students pumped for the upcoming season. He rolled up in his fly Tahoe to make a special appearance at the Chi Omega Sorority's Philanthropy (home to myself and HST member  Natalie), "Swishes for Wishes," a basketball tournament for UW Fraternities that raises money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Coach Romar, the Godfather of the Dawg Pack, gave an inspirational speech at the ice cream social, encouraging the 100+ students there to buy Dawg Pack tickets if they hadn't done so already and to spread the word.

He concluded by asking a few trivia questions, giving one special student an autographed basketball, and gettin' 'em going with a round of "Go Huskies." After the event, he kindly took a few pictures with students who were excitedly talking about getting their Dawg Pack tickets.

First Year Programs, Athletics. Athletics, FYP.

Mary Gates Hall, home of First Year Programs

Earlier this afternoon, I sat down with LeAnne Wiles-Jones for lunch to further discuss First Year Programs programming and the potential to partner with Athletics in 2014, for 2014-15, and beyond! We had a great chat and both left very excited about what's in store for our partnership. LeAnne was kind enough to invite me to join their staff meeting on January 13 at Mary Gates Hall to introduce myself to their staff and dive into planning, brainstorming, and figuring out how we can best improve the UW student experience together.

Greek Chapter & Residence Halls Outreach

Sam Millang

Tuesday evenings doors all around the UW Greek community are flying open as the Husky Street Team (HST) makes the rounds informing chapters of "This Week in Husky Athletics."

Not a member of a Greek house? No problem, Husky Street Team has you covered. Wednesdays during the busiest lunch hours the HST makes it around to the largest cafeterias on campus to hand out flyers and let students know of all the upcoming events and special student perks in Husky Athletics.

Keep your eyes on the lookout for the HST around campus on a daily basis; we seem to be in a million places at once.  

If you have any ideas of new places that should be a focus for the HST to promote Husky Athletics please comment below!  


Go Dawgs!

Erin Allett

Husky Athletics does it again and pulls off a great Dawg Pack Appreciation events at Husky Women's Soccer this past Sunday afternoon vs. Cal and Husky Men's Soccer vs. UCLA on Monday, Oct. 21 at 7p.m. at Husky Soccer Stadium. Husky Street Team hit up campus (Red Square, Greeks, Residence Halls - as they do on the daily) to promote DPA. Also, it was announced over PA at two games leading up to the showdown.

As usual, the first Dawg Pack members in attendance received a FREE t-shirt and a $5 concession coupon. Oh, and some saweet Husky Soccer thundersticks and an in-game shout out of a message from Head Coach Lesle Gallimore and her team.

First 50 Dawg Pack received these puppies. Fo. Free.
