Curtis Cook will be performing virtually for a live audience (and streamed) here at UW Stout.

Curtis Cook hails from sunny Los Angeles where he works as a writer and a standup comedian. You may have seen him throwing up on the set of Vice’s Flophouse, traversing an Ebola checkpoint for Vice News, creating a cringe singularity with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstien in Portlandia, or even his stand-up performances feature on Comedy Central. Most recently he has been writing and working as a correspondent for The Jim Jeffries Show. An alumnus of a liberal arts college, Curtis is excited to showcase his progressive sensibilities through his comedy and his belief that we can “change the world by having long conversations with people we already agree with”.

This event is sponsored by Blue Devil Productions and is FREE to all. This event is a part of Blue Devil Productions comedy series. Please call (715) 232-2432 or go to bdpstout.com for more information. For special accommodations at any of our events please email bdp@uwstout.edu.

The Stress Test | Virtual

Today’s college students are facing unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety. From social media to student loans, the pressure to adapt and succeed comes from every angle, and without the proper coping skills, students can easily feel overwhelmed and suffocated.

That’s where The Stress Test comes in.

This is not a lecture; this is a discussion customized to the specific needs and objectives of each campus with one goal in mind; for every student to know that they are not alone. Designed by writer, comedian, and educator Mike Finoia, The Stress Test takes a refreshingly interactive approach to addressing the ever-present stressors of collegiate and early adulthood life.

YOU are invited to take part in the virtual session to help tackle stress!

Speak Up Against Bias

This fall the Bias Incident Response Team (BIRT) released their first ever annual Bias Incident Report, summarizing incidents reported during the 2019-2020 school year. An annual report will be released every fall semester moving forward.  

Additionally, in an effort to be more transparent, BIRT released a one-page Bias Incident Response Protocol to provide the general process followed for most incidents that are reported. 

We encourage students, faculty and staff to report any incidents of bias they witness or are victim to here at UW-Stout. If you have any questions about reporting bias related concerns or the BIRT visit their webpage or contact the BIRT Chair, Dominique Vargas.

Feeling Lonely

Things to do When You’re Feeling Sad or Lonely…

  1. Get moving - The slightest bit of physical activity will help boost your mood and relieve stress. Even a simple walk or stretching is all you need to do.
  2. Take care of yourself - Treat yourself to a nice bath, take a nap, and make sure you’re drinking enough water and eating your veggies.
  3. Ask for help - Talk to someone you are close to and can confide in about your feelings. Maybe try a friend or family member!
  4. Help someone else - Helping someone else with a simple task will not only make them feel better, but can help lift your spirits as well.
  5. Journal - Writing your feelings down can help clear your mind and get your thoughts in order. It doesn’t have to be perfect, anything at all is good enough.
  6. Watch something funny - Turn on your favorite movie or tv show or watch a funny video on youtube. You could also watch this with a friend or roommate!
  7. Listen to music - Avoid the sappy stuff and play some pump up jams to help increase the amount of dopamine in your brain.
  8. Ask for advice from an expert - Going to a therapist or counselor can be a great way to cope with feelings of sadness and figure out where these feelings are stemming from.
