Summer Employment Update

We are in full swing of presenting job offers to students for summer employment.  Please note that students have 5 days to accept or decline their offer, and we appreciate your timely response.  There are still many opportunities available for students to apply for Summer Employment on-campus!  Please complete the web-form found on the Human Resources page to search and apply for available positions.

If you are interested in spending your summer in beautiful Door County, Björklunden may provide a great opportunity for you.  They are still looking to add several students to their staff with full time positions available completing a variety of tasks.  Please contact Sherri Immel with application instructions.

Connect to Courage: Keeping Our Veterans Alive

Last fall, a small group of Veterans and other individuals met to discuss the issue of Veteran Suicide.  The Department of Veteran Affairs determined that 22 Veterans commit suicide each day in this country.  Further, PTSD is an issue related not only to Veterans, but as you know to many of our Firefighters and Law Enforcement.  A documentary film entitled “Project 22” was released in 2015, with the goal of bringing national attention to this issue. Link to the trailer is: https://vimeo.com/121737934

Wisconsin and the Fox Cities are not immune to this problem. A small group has worked together collaboratively to create an event called Connect to Courage: Keeping Our Veterans Alive.  The event will take place on Tuesday, March 28, 2017 from 1:30-8:30 at the PAC.  This event is for Veterans, their families and ANYONE who works with or cares about our Veterans.

Thank you for your support.
