I think everyone is with me this week in a collective “BRRRRRR.” It’s cold! After having such a mild November, Old Man Winter certainly has made his presence known with vengeance. However, there is one thing that comes with the Old Man: snow. Now that we finally have that white stuff, all the cool winter activities are coming out of the woodwork and seeping onto the Digest. Here is what you missed this week.

SOAP Skiing and Snowboarding Trip

SOAP’s final trip of the semester will be this Sunday, December 13 and will be a ski/snowboard trip to Mont Du Lac. Enjoy all this fresh powder we’ve received! The trip will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and only costs $5 to register, $21 for just a lift ticket, $37 for lift and rental and $12 to enjoy the tubing run. Registration is Thursday, December 10 at the HWC front desk.

H1N1 Shots

Well over 200 UWS students have already been infected with the H1N1 Flu Virus, but for those who haven’t, the danger has not yet completely passed. Students aged 18-24 still are one of the highest risk groups to be infected. Student Health and Counseling Services want to help students fight against infection by offering a free – yes FREE – H1N1 Vaccine Clinic this Thursday, December 10from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the RSC Concourse. They will even be handing out “flying pig” ornaments to those getting vaccinated. Stay healthy! Get a shot!

Technology Services Strategic Planning Surveys

Free 8GB iPod? A $10 gift certificate to the bookstore? Free 2GB flash drive? Who wouldn’t want one of these? Technology Services couldn’t agree more, which is why they are offering these as prizes in a drawing for people who complete a survey that will help Technology Services with their Strategic Planning and to make decisions. The survey is up on their website – www.uwsuper.edu/technology . Help those guys who graciously keep the computers, tech programs, and every gadget on campus running smoothly! Besides, like their promotions say, they are “ear” to listen to you!
