Spring Break

Spring Break on campus today, and it's supposed to be in the low 60s! Yay! It's quiet, and our office is catching up on paperwork and reading and general office work. We love students but it's also nice to have a little breathing room.

Some of our counselors are on the road this week....there's a swing of college fairs in Minnesota that we will attend so some of you folks in the Twin Cities may see them. Come out and say hello.

Our current students are doing all kinds of things for spring break. Many are enjoying some R&R but many are taking advantage of travel. Our women's concert chorale is in South Africa, for example. And softball and tennis are in Arizona and Florida, respectively, getting ready for their seasons. Oh, and we have another national champion in the men's weight throw at the DIII track and field championships. Congrats to Sam!

For you seniors, remember:

- File for financial aid if you haven't already
- Take placement exams
- Sign up for Orientation date on March 3oth

Enjoy the break.....

March Madness

Hey there. On a personal note, I just returned from a little R&R in sunny Florida. The Gulf Coast was amazing, and it was great to soak in the sun. I left the morning of the big snowstorm up here and came back when it was raining in Florida.....my timing was perfect:).

I also came back to March madness around here. Almost everyone who was on our postponed list knows their admissions decision. Unfortunately, we did not take a lot of them. We are also almost done with freshman scholarships and notifying students of their awards.

We also are gearing up for our Preview Day on Friday. It's almost full with about 300 people attending. It should be a great day.

Some random campus news: women's basketball is headed for NCAA postseason and we have a new site determined for our new student center, due to open 2012. Check out both stories on the homepage: http://www.uwec.edu/

Keeping this short this time.

Ciao.
