What a fantastic week the campus is having! First the weather has been phenomenal, I mean, seriously no snow at the end of March? Take it from a life-long Superior resident, this doesn’t happen very often. Then we only have a four-day week, thank you furlough (sorry to all those faculty and staff that have to take a day without pay, but personally I’m going to enjoy my day off!) Plus there are many amazing things happening around campus! Why don’t you read on and see what you missed on this week’s Digest.

Free Medical Clinic
Healthcare reform hasn’t completely gone through yet. So for those of you who don’t have insurance and feel the need to stop into a clinic, Student Health and Counseling Services is hosting a free clinic at the Lake Superior Life Care Center at 101 West 2nd St. Room 209 in Duluth.  The Clinic will be held Wednesday April 14 and Wednesday April 28 from 1pm-4pm.  Want to make an appointment? Call 218-727-3399.

Gay Straight Alliance Student Panel
It takes a lot of courage for students to band together and proclaim their support on hot-button issues like sexual orientation, especially in a small town.  High School students at Proctor High School have done just that by creating a Gay Straight Alliance at their school.  The students will be at the Yellowjacket Union Tuesday (excuse me for the typo, I had originally put Monday, it is in fact on Tuesday!) April 6 in room 203 from 7pm to 8pm to talk on a panel about the experience of instituting a GSA at their school.

The Mikado Opera
This Thursday April 1, the UW-Superior Music Department will present the second performance of “The Mikado” an opera by Gilbert and Sullivan.  Undergraduate students perform the opera, and it is another wonderful program bringing culture to campus.  The show starts at 7:30 in Thorpe Langley Auditorium and tickets are $8 for adults, $3 for students.
