Week Two is ov-ah and things are finally calming down with your course schedules, you're identifying organizations to be part of and your should now be in your UW-Stout rhythm. We hope that while there have surely been stressful times, you have also found plenty of opportunity for building your new friendships and making memories.
The weekend is thankfully looking drier than the past few days. I know that many of you are still adjusting to Wisconsin weather but I encourage you to get outside as much as possible even if you're feeling a little chilly. As they say, "winter is coming"...not now...not even for several more weeks! But whenever it arrives, we don't want you feeling regret for not being outside when you had the opportunity to do it! Keep your eyes open for opportunities though Stout Adventures such as this weekend's Rock Climbing and Paddleboarding daytrips or the AlFresco Outing Club's hiking trip to local points of interest.
If you are looking for something a little more relaxed, check out the free film tonight in Applied Arts or the trip to Como Zoo with the Involvement Center.
