Hours

Glow is open during the school term Monday to Friday 10 am and 4 pm. Glow provides confidential peer support to undergrads with in-person appointments from Monday to Friday from 4 - 5 pm, as well as online peer support by appointment. Glow hosts regular events that are meant to be low-key get-togethers to meet new people, learn about current 2SLGBTQ+ issues, and have fun in a safe space. Events include movie nights, board game nights, and discussion circles on a particular topic. Upcoming event details will be posted on our Instagram (uwglow), Facebook (glowuw) and Discord (in our Instagram linktree)!
