Please join us for UW Stout’s second Fresh Check Day; a fun event with interactive booths, free food, and awesome prizes!
Fresh Check Day is an uplifting mental health promotion and suicide prevention event for colleges that includes interactive expo booths, peer-to-peer messaging, support of multiple campus departments and groups, free food, entertainment, and exciting prizes and giveaways. Fresh Check Day aims to create an approachable and hopeful atmosphere where students are encouraged to engage in dialogue about mental health and helps to build a bridge between students and the mental health resources available on campus, in the community, and nationally.
If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please contact Lisa Raethke at raethkel@uwstout.edu.

Presenting a poster at National Conference on Undergraduate Reserach, Research Day, or a conference in your field?

Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR) Training
Like CPR, QPR is an emergency response to someone in a suicidal crisis. By learning QPR, you will come to recognize the warning signs, clues, and suicidal communication of people in trouble, and gain skills to act to prevent a possible tragedy.
This training will be available on campus for students on March 4 from 3-4:30 PM in the Oakwood Room of the MSC.

This session we're using the Lost Foam Method!
We'll have premade patterns and tools to cut your own!
Spots limited; register in Connect to reserve your spot!
In Lost Foam casting, you bury your EPS foam pattern (coffee cup material) in a specialized type of sand with a sprue sticking out on top. We pour molten metal over top and the pattern vaporizes on contact, leaving the metal to take the shape left behind!

This event opens in Harvey Hall 141 with a short presentation about Holi from UW-Stout students from 4:00-4:30pm. Traditional sweets will also be served.
A celebration of color will follow the presentation at 5:00pm on the MSC Clock Tower Plaza. During the color celebration attendees should expect to be covered in powdered Holi colors (if you are not familiar with Holi, the colors are those used in color runs). Attendees are strongly advised to wear clothing that can be ruined as the color may not wash out.
Throughout the semester, you can find our Career Coaches at various locations around campus for drop-in meetings. Usually, they're out around the lunch hour on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Check our Instagram for the exact location each week.
Feel free to ask questions like:
- What should I include or exclude on my resume?
- How do I begin searching for a job in my major?
- I keep getting rejected. What should I do differently?
