Did you know that Great Rivers United Way (GRUW)-funded programs are utilized once every 33 seconds?

This doesn’t happen without you. For more than 75 years, the Greater La Crosse community’s support has collectively allowed GRUW to fund programs to help those in need.

From Dec. 1-12, UWL is hosting an employee workplace campaign to benefit the GRUW grants program, as well as a food drive for the GRUW and Rotary Lights annual non-perishable food collection, which helps benefit UWL’s Food Pantry.

Your gift to Great Rivers United Way’s Community Investment Fund through UW-La Crosse’s workplace campaign ensures that your donation is invested where the need is greatest. Payroll deduction allows you to spread your gift out in smaller, more manageable amounts that make a big difference. Thank you for considering a donation between Dec. 1-12.

In addition, UWL is once again teaming up with the GRUW and Rotary Lights to collect non-perishable food items. Items are being collected at the Information Desk at the Student Union on the first floor.

Donation instructions: Visit the Great Rivers United Way online pledge form make a pledge.

Join the herd! A free immunization clinic will be from 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 8 in 2110 Student Union, Miller Bluff room.

Safe and effective vaccination for human papillomavirus helps build herd immunity to prevent genital warts and several cancers. Wellness & Health Advocacy is partnering with Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers, Mayo Clinic Health System, and the Wisconsin Cancer Collaborative to provide HPV immunizations at no cost for UWL students. Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers will either bill insurance for the vaccine cost or provide it at no cost through the Vaccines for Adults program. 

Students are encouraged to check their immunization records (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois) and attend the clinics to keep their immunizations current. Other vaccines (i.e., Tdap, flu, and COVID) will be available from Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers.

Get ready to turn your day into a high-score moment! We're bringing retro arcade vibes to campus with a Pac-Man-themed blood drive that’s all about giving back and having fun while doing it from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 3, at 2110 Student Union.

Just like Pac-Man powers up to keep going, your blood donation gives someone the strength to fight another day. Whether you're a first-time donor or a seasoned pro, this is your chance to do something meaningful and memorable.

Come solo or bring your crew (students, faculty, staff and community members welcome). Every donation helps real people in need, and you’ll walk away knowing you made a difference.

Sign up, show up and level up. Let’s clear the maze of blood shortages together!

This program is a mental journey from the Earth to the far reaches of the universe. It briefly describes the Moon and each of the planets. It also looks at the Sun as a star, how stars are born, live out their lives and die as a white dwarf, neutron star or black hole. Finally, it looks at cosmology and how it was learned that the universe is expanding.
