Campus Connection

[caption id="attachment_11632" align="alignleft" width="240" caption="University Communications team wearing LIVEMAROON gear"][/caption] UW-L is one of many local organizations that participate in the monthly “Jeans Day” sponsored by the La Crosse Tribune. One or two local charities or organizations are designated each month to receive our donations. In return for a $1 (suggested donation) UW-L employees may wear jeans to work Friday, April 27.  You may contribute even if you don’t wear jeans. Let’s show our community how generous we can be! In March our campus raised $81. Also, the campus community is encouraged to wear their LIVEMAROON T-shirts or other maroon clothing.

 

 

The charities receiving the April contributions are:

Junior Achievement of Wisconsin: It teaches second grade through high school students skills and knowledge for success in the global economy. Hands-on activities are presented by trained volunteers in partnership with the classroom teacher. Activities are focused on improving financial literacy, developing work readiness skills and inspiring entrepreneurship. Blue Stars Drum & Bugle Corps: Corps membership provides educational and performance art opportunities and helps with the development of life skills. Members learn through teamwork, dedication, a strong work ethic, goal setting and discipline that success can be achieved both on and off the performance field.
