Take Our Diversity Survey; Win Prizes!
Your faculty and staff at UWGB are working hard to make all four campuses more diverse and supportive environments, and we could use your help. Do your part, and you could win a free gift card!
UWGB students have already received an email invitation to participate in the Diverse Learning Environments (DLE) Survey. The purpose of this survey is to assess our campuses when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion in and out of the classroom. We’re asking students to please take this survey by Tuesday, April 20th.
Each student received their own individual link, so please search your email for yours, sent on February 28th from heri@vainc.net. The survey is fully anonymous, and is administered by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA.
Get prizes! In addition to helping to better our campuses, all students who complete the Campus Climate survey are eligible to win a $20 Amazon e-card via two random drawings. We have a total of 150 cards to give away!
If you have any questions, you may contact Dr. Stacie Christian, UWGB Director of Inclusive Excellence and the Pride Center.
“What Were You Wearing” Exhibit Now Open
To honor the fact that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the UWGB Healthy Choices Task Force is hosting a “What Were You Wearing?” exhibit on the Marinette campus in room M-109, April 5-29, 2021. The exhibit is open 8:00 a.m. – 4:40 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The “What Were You Wearing” exhibit provides a tangible response to one of our culture’s most pervasive myths, namely, that if a person was sexually assaulted, they must have been wearing revealing clothing to “ask for” the attack. Exhibit outfits have been recreated from the stories of student-survivors.
If you need help or healing for sexual assault, please visit one of the following resources:
Food Pantry Volunteer Opportunity
Local Boy Scout troops are currently conducting a “Scouting for Food” food drive, and they could use your help. The Scouts are seeking volunteers of all ages to assist with picking up and sorting non-perishable food donations from Marinette, Oconto, and Crandon.
All volunteers will meet on Saturday, April 17th from 8:00 a.m. to 12 noon.
Your volunteer hours help the Boy Scouts support local food pantries, run by the nonprofit Newcap. Inc. (formerly the Northeast Wisconsin Community Action Program).
Please contact Tammy at (920) 373-6872 if you’d like to volunteer.
