It’s a great day to be alive
and be a cardinal!Cardinals,
Homecoming is right around the corner. Don’t forget to nominate a campus leader, campus role model, or someone who you feel would represent our UIW campus well. Applications are due October 1, 2014 VIA Orgsync. Interested in going Greek? Freshman, you are invited to our first set of workshops designed just for you to learn the in’s and out’s of Greek life at UIW. Attend both workshops and you will be entered into a raffle for $50 for new member dues. It is almost that time for Fall break, midterms and end of the year finals. There are many resources at UIW to help you prepare for those tests that you might not be 100% confident about! The Learning Assitance Center is located in the AD building 2nd floor and is available to all students! The Office of Campus Life wishes you the best of luck. Till next week cardinals!
