UW Odyssey Project
Published on November 6, 2024, the UW Odyssey project published a "Special 'Convergence' Edition" of their class newsletter, the Odyssey Oracle, highlighting the students' experience. Current and past Odyssey students attended Convergence on October 10, 2024, at the Overture Center, sharing a pizza dinner at Ian’s before the concert, attending the pre-concert discussion, the performance, and the post-concert party.
"I enjoyed the visit from our guests. I appreciated that they spoke to us of hard work and education. It was validating to hear them share that we can all do hard things."
– UW Odyssey Student
