A letter from Lisa

September 2024

Finding and creating opportunities for engagement is the focus of the work I do at UWL. People – both on and off campus – make these moments of connection possible through a common desire to positively effect change in the lives of our students and the La Crosse region. New UWL Chancellor James Beeby believes in the power of people. He has a vision for the future that will require the work of many to help advance UWL – which has already been named a top public university – to new levels of excellence.

For this reason, UWL wants to invite the community to learn more about the ways our students and faculty are investing in the region through opportunities like the new La Crosse Northside Hear, Here oral history project, which will be open for community tours throughout October. Or, grab your favorite beverage at JavaVino in La Crosse and take part in the free, monthly Science Café’s hosted by UWL faculty and USGS experts, with a mission to bring science directly to the community. We also invite you to learn more about how our faculty and students research topics, such as PFAS, that impact our region and how our graduates are finding meaningful careers locally.

These are just a few ways UWL invites you to engage with us. This newsletter will help you find more information about the exciting community-based projects I’ve highlighted above, as well as a calendar of events curated just for you, your family and your neighbors.

Let’s engage!

Lisa
