“AFOW was fantastic! Even though all events were held virtually this year, I was still able to meet and interact with many of my fellow classmates through participating in plenty of fun games and activities. Additionally, I was also able to network with a large number of upper-year students where I had the chance to learn more about the SAF culture and develop long-lasting relationships.”
Vice President of Logistics, DECA 2021 – UWDECA
“AFOW gave us the chance to bond with fellow SAF students through amazing ice-breaker activities. This provided us with a valuable forum to foster long-lasting relationships and learn about the many student-led organizations Experiencing all of this within the first week of school was absolutely phenomenal. Without a doubt, AFOW has helped us shape our ideal paths within SAF.”

“AFOW is a necessary component within the SAF community. AFOW has allowed ACE to directly connect with incoming first years and build relationships that last for years. The SAF community is close-knit and supportive towards each other, especially towards first years during the orientation and club crawl events. There will always be an upper year or faculty member who is willing to guide you throughout your undergraduate journey.”
Anthony Kamal
Managing Director, ACE Consulting 2021 – ACE
“The most important aspect of university is that it gives you an opportunity to find yourself and meet peers with similar interests with you that you can get close with. AFOW lets you begin this journey through meeting both your peers and upper years, many of whom I am still close with now. The exec team at AFOW has planned an extremely special event for all first years, and it will be some of the most fun you will have in your undergrad.”
Brayden Goehner
President, Accounting and Finance Student Association 2020-2021 – UW AFSA
“Signing up for AFOW was one of the best choices we made in university. We were able to bond with upper years and make some of our closest friends while participating in all kinds of fun activities. Don’t miss out on this perfect way to help you transition into university!”
