UW Campus Update: Gospel Choir, Truth Talk, Transfer Deadlines, Sports Wins, New Food Trucks & More (Dec 1–8)

Hey Huskies, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for December 1 through December 8. Let's get you set for the week—fast. First up—the UW Gospel Choir is performing tonight, December 1, at 7:30 p.m. in Meany Hall. Led by Phyllis Byrdwell, this 100-voice ensemble will fill the hall with uplifting gospel music. It's a free event, so swing by and enjoy the harmony. Next—on December 2, Turkish-Armenian journalist Hayko Bağdat will discuss "Truth as Resistance" at 6 p.m. in Kane Hall. He'll explore minority rights and freedom of expression in Turkish politics. A thought-provoking session you won't want to miss. And—if you're considering transferring to UW, mark your calendar: the application opens December 15, with a deadline of February 15. Start preparing your materials now to ensure a smooth application process. The Huskies dominated the Apple Cup on September 20, 2025, defeating Washington State 59–24. Looking ahead, the men's basketball team has a home game this Saturday, December 6, at 7 p.m. in Alaska Airlines Arena. Come out and support the team as they take on their next opponent. The Husky Marching Band, known for their energetic performances, continues to be a campus favorite. Their rendition of "Bow Down to Washington" never fails to pump up the crowd. Catch them at the upcoming basketball game this Saturday. In dining news, the food truck lineup this week includes some new additions. Be sure to check out the latest offerings near Red Square during lunchtime. It's a great way to sample diverse cuisines without leaving campus. This week in Seattle, expect mostly cloudy skies with occasional rain. Temperatures will be cool, so keep your rain jacket handy, especially on Thursday and Friday when rain is more likely. Your move: if you're planning to apply for the School Psychology (Ed.S. or Ph.D.) program, remember the application deadline is December 1. Submit your materials today to be considered. That's your quick Campus Update. I'm Jenny—catch you next Monday morning. Tap follow on your podcast app so you never miss a beat.
