Most students have probably noticed that their classrooms have seemed to lose students for weeks at a time, especially now that cold and flu season has hit.  Not to worry for those who are still healthy, or even if that flu has gotten you so down, if you haven’t been able to check your e-mail.  There are still plenty of opportunities for activities around campus.  Here is what you missed on this week’s digest. 

Giving Tree
Are you a student who has a child or children under the age of eighteen and are worried that Christmas this year is going to be a bit lacking? Luckily, there is a yearly program to help out students with children during the holidays – the Giving Tree. Sponsored by Student Involvement and RSC, students with children can come to the Information Desk in RSC and sign up to receive a gift for their children. Once signed up, an ornament will be put out on the “giving tree” in the concourse for other students, faculty, staff, or community members to choose one to buy a gift for. Signups are due by November 20, and gifts can be picked up December 15-19. 

Spring Semester Advisement Week
Get those degree progress reports printed and ready because yes, advisement has come yet again.  Holds will be placed on student’s accounts rendering students unable to register for spring classes until they have met with their advisor. Class times for spring have been up since November 2, and early advisement begins November 16.  Now is as good a time as ever to figure out what you want to do for next semester.  Don’t forget to sign up for a time with your advisor!

Hats-Mittens-Scarves Give Away Intercollegiate Competition 
It’s official. We are in a competition with St. Scholastica, Lake Superior College, and University of Minnesota Duluth to see which college can collect the most lightly used hats, mittens, and scarves to be donated to local charity. Besides bringing major bragging rights to being the most generous college in the area, UWS has the opportunity to win a neat trophy. Drop off points are in Old Main 230 and Sundquist 147 and are to be turned in by no later than December 4. For any questions, please contact Ivy Vainio, Aaron Bigboy, Samantha Toman or Keighly Hudak.
