Now you know

Thank you to everyone who participated in the recent confidential shredding and electronic recycling sponsored by Facilities Management.

As a result of your efforts, UWRF was able to properly dispose of 7,960 pounds of confidential documents. The total amount of electronics recycled filled three 10-yard  dumpsters that were later sorted and recycled.

Facilities will be offering this service to campus on an annual to semi-annual basis. Watch  Falcon Daily regarding future dates.

The Falcon 4x400-meter relay team set a school record and placed fourth at the NCAA Championships this past weekend in Berea, Ohio. The Falcon team of Samantha Nyre, Alyssa Rasmussen, Kali Meurer and Natasha Arnold (pictured above in an earlier meet at UWRF) finished in 3:46.93, the fastest time in WIAC Conference  history. They destroyed their own school record of 3:49.77 set at the UW-La Crosse Eagle Open on May 14. The four team members all earned NCAA All-American honors. Arnold earned All-American honors with a seventh place finish in the 400-meters. She ran a 55.95 in the finals on Saturday. In Friday's trials she set a school record with a time of 55.87. Arnold, a junior from Stevens Point, also earned NCAA All-American honors for her eighth place finish at the 2010 NCAA indoor Championships in March. The Falcons scored seven team points and placed 38th. Photo by Jens Gunelson.
