ThunderWeek
Each quarter, the Center for Leadership & Service and the Center for Cultural & Inclusive Excellence welcome all Highline students to campus with a week of programs called ThunderWeek.
During ThunderWeek, connect with other students, learn about ways you can get involved on campus, and celebrate being a Highline student.
All events during ThunderWeek are free and available to all students!
