Connecting Students to Support Services and Agencies

Campus recognizes that a number of students may be experiencing food, shelter, and financial insecurities. A webpage has been created that contains a multitude of resources for students to review, including resources to potential emergency funding for extreme hardship.

Utilizing these services can help you remain focused on your academic, professional, and personal goals.

Free Fitness Routines

Many of us are doing homework or telecommuting from our home office, desk, kitchen table, or even your bed. Now is the perfect time to get up and move. Within the Fitness Blender website, you're able to search fitness routines specifically to what you're looking for, including the length of duration, what equipment you have available, what area of the body you want to focus on, and so much more.

Voter Update for Menomonie Residents

To minimize the spread of COVID-19 and to protect poll workers, the City Clerk’s office is encouraging voters to request an absentee ballot through myvote.wi.gov.  Voters may also register and vote by absentee ballot at the City Clerk’s office, 800 Wilson Ave, from 8:30am to Noon each day this week.

If you wish to vote in-person on election day, please note that the city of Menomonie has consolidated voting locations. All Menomonie residents living in wards 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 wishing to vote in-person on April 7th, should report to the Menomonie Leisure Center (1412 6th Street). Menomonie residents living in wards 1 and 2 will continue to vote at Christ Lutheran Church (1306 Wilcox Street), and wards 10 & 11 will vote at Chippewa Valley Technical College (403 Technology Dr. East).

Become a poll worker

Wisconsin is looking for citizens to serve as poll workers for the Tuesday, April 7, election. Many veteran poll workers are unable to work the polls so younger citizens are asked to step up. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic many Wisconsin cities, towns and villages are looking for extra volunteers to assist with running the election.

Those interested can find their clerk by searching using their address. Click on the clerk’s email address to send him or her a message with “Poll Worker Applicant” in the subject line. Applicants should include a few words about their interests and their contact information   

To be a poll worker, a person must:  

  • Be a qualified elector of the county in which the municipality is located (i.e., an adult citizen of the United States who has resided in the election district for 10 consecutive days and is not otherwise disqualified to vote)  
  • Be at least 17 years-old  
  • Be able to read and write fluently in the English language  
  • Not be a candidate for any office to be voted on at the polling place at that election.    

Poll workers do everything from check-in voters, help people register to vote, check photo IDs and process absentee ballots. Local clerks will provide training prior to election day. This is a great opportunity for college students to get involved with the democratic process.
