Community Engagement Quarterly Update

December 2024
If you haven’t been cooking or baking this holiday season, I’m hoping you’ve at least experienced the joy of eating someone else’s culinary delights. While I believe my mom’s cooking is some of the best I’ve ever had, it's hard to compete with one 2010 UWL alumnus who was recently featured on the Food Network show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." (Sorry, Mom.)
But the holiday season is about more than just food; it’s a time for cultural, religious and/or family traditions. The UWL Art Department is Honoring tradition after recently securing a grant to enhance Indigenous art education. The effort aims to teach students and community members about the work of contemporary Indigenous artists.
I would be remiss if I didn’t reflect and share a moment of gratitude as the year comes to a close. (I don’t want to disappoint my mom again.) UWL has a tremendous group of community partners who provide internships, jobs, service-learning opportunities, research experiences, and even future careers to our students. For that, I say thank you on behalf of the institution. I look forward to what we can do together in 2025.
Happy holidays,
Lisa
