November flurries

Hi Group - Wow, it's been almost two weeks since I last posted. In that time period, we had another busy Saturday visit and elected a new president! No wonder the time flew by.

I don't have much to post on this time because we're just working on getting through as many of your applications as we can. The bulk of our big visit days are done, so now we shift into hosting some online chats and Students Calling Students. We have our Campus Ambassadors call our admitted students to chat, get connected, and answer questions. Last night, one of our students talked to a mother for 55 minutes! Was a great conversation, and she had a lot of questions. Happy to help!!

A couple dates to keep in mind:

Most of our scholarships applications aren't due until February 1st but our Blugold Fellowship deadline is December 1st. If the idea of working with a faculty member on research appeals to you, this is a great scholarship. It's available for students in the top 25% of their class with at least a 25 ACT. Most info on scholarships is here: http://www.uwec.edu/admissions/scholarships/

Speaking of money - College Goal Sunday is February 22nd at 2:00 in Eau Claire. Financial aid experts will help you fill out the FAFSA - the federal financial aid form. It's a nationwide event, so check out the locations in your home area at http://www.wicollegegoalsunday.org/ (this site is for WI, obviously:-).

And speaking of elections, here are a couple pics from what our campus looked like last week....

Later,

Kris
