UW Campus Update: Winter Registration, Art & Music Events, Sports Highlights, Film Screening, New Food Trucks, and Weather Outlook

Hey Huskies, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for November 17 through November 24. Let's get you set for the week—fast. First up—Winter 2026 Registration Period II begins today, November 17. If you haven't secured your classes yet, now's the time to do it. Next, the Henry Art Gallery is showcasing "Spirit House," an exhibition featuring works from 34 Asian American and Asian diasporic artists. It's a thematic exploration of identity and culture, running through January 11. Don't miss it! Finally, the UW School of Music is hosting a series of concerts this week, including a Guest Pianist Master Class with Yulianna Avdeeva on November 17 and a Voice Division Recital on November 18. Check out the full schedule on the School of Music's website. Over the weekend, our women's basketball team opened the season with a decisive 90-43 win over Seattle U. Freshman Avery Howell made a statement in her first Washington start, knocking down three 3-pointers over her first three shots and finishing the night perfect from the field. Looking ahead, the men's basketball team has a home game this Friday at 7 p.m. in Alaska Airlines Arena. Let's pack the stands and show our support! The UW Film Club is hosting a screening of "Inception" this Thursday at 6 p.m. in Kane Hall. It's a great way to unwind and discuss mind-bending cinema with fellow students. Also, have you noticed the "Husky Paws" painted around campus? It's part of a new initiative to promote school spirit—snap a pic and share your Husky pride! And for our foodies, the campus food trucks are featuring a new Thai fusion menu this week. Spice up your lunch break! This week in Seattle, expect mostly cloudy skies with occasional showers. Temperatures will hover in the mid-50s. Thursday looks particularly wet, so pack an umbrella to stay dry.
