Add Online Meeting Links to your Events

There is a new option when creating your event in the "where" section of CONNECT allowing you to choose Video Conference.  Add the link and choose the app you will be using.

Hold on to End of Year Traditions

With us living in a virtual environment, it’s important to still take time and care to recognize your graduating members.  Do you usually host a dinner where you recognize those graduating?  Do you give out special or funny awards?  Do you dedicate a meeting to share stories about these members?  Whatever you do, keep your traditions alive.   

One tool to help you do this is creating surveys to engage your group members! Use the Poll and Survey feature in CONNECT to have members submit responses about those graduating to be shared with them at a virtual recognition.   

Share your Social Distancing Experience

UW-Stout students have had to alter their entire way of being through social distancing and we'd like to capture your stories, thoughts and feelings. Please take a few moments to reflect on the questions below and submit your answers via our CONNECT form.  Our Marketing Communications office will be using your submissions for potential stories and/or posts on our social channels.

  • What did social distancing mean to you before the Safer at Home mandates?
  • What does social distancing mean to you now?
  • What's been the hardest thing for you in all of this?
  • What's the bright spot in your day?
Contact Abbey Goers with any questions.

Join us on the Memorial Student Center's Instagram (@uwstoutmsc) for Chef Jyll Everman's LIVE cooking demonstration. After a 2 month stint competing on Food Network’s Next Food Network Star, Jyll quickly realized she loved teaching on camera! Jyll’s approach to cooking resides in her personal acronym M.I.T.G: Make It Taste Good! After professionally cooking for 12 years, Jyll is armed with tools, techniques and tricks to teach the home cook how to make delicious food without the stress.

Follow along this Friday while Jyll makes a delicious dinner of pasta, salad and dessert. She'll provide the easy step by step, but jump in with questions about the meal or her experience on Food Network Star!
