Join the Involvement Center and Menomonie Rotary as we pack meals to fight childhood hunger within our community and throughout the world! Sign-up is open to individual students/staff or student organization groups. Packing sessions are an hour long and run from 1:25pm-2:25pm, 2:30pm-3:30pm, 3:35pm-4:35pm, 4:40pm-5:40pm. There are also volunteer shifts available for set-up and cleanup.

Individuals wishing to register for more than one timeslot must select the number of timeslots they'd like in the quantity field before registering. You'll then be prompted to select a timeslot for each ticket.

If you wish to register as a group, each member of your group must reserve their own ticket and be sure to pick the same timeslot. Space is limited in each session, so we suggest that your group registers early as we are unable to hold spaces. Groups should only register for one timeslot to provide opportunities for other students and groups.

Bridging The Divide Session 2

Clock Thursday, October 16
6:00pm - 7:30pm
Location pin MSC, Ballroom C
Calendar Add to Google Cal,Outlook,Yahoo,iCal

Bridging the Divide seeks to reduce partisan division by fostering civil discourse among students and promoting civic virtue. The program brings students with different ideological and partisan political perspectives together for small group conversations about current political issues and beliefs.

Rather than reaching a consensus, the goal is simply to replace snark with civil dialogue and increase engagement and understanding between people with different opinions. We replace snark with conversation, tweets with real talk, and scrolls & likes with face-to-face dialogue. In addition, we like to make it fun and enjoyable with FREE SNACKS!!

Survey about academic calendar preferences open

The Educational Activities Committee invites students, faculty, and staff to weigh in on the academic calendar. The EAC creates the academic calendar each year and would like to have better data to guide its choices.      

The academic calendar preferences survey is not for a specific calendar year, since each year presents unique challenges; rather, it is meant to guide the EAC for several years to come. The survey will close Friday, Oct. 3.
