Shared vision is focus of today's Town Hall meetings
Faculty, staff and community members gathered in Rodli Hall this morning for the first of two Town Hall meetings today set to provide opportunities for input
on UWRF's new Strategic Plan for 2012-2017. Today's meetings build off the unit meetings held last week by further processing and exploring issues related to campus as a whole with participants from all units
of campus and the greater community. If you did not get a chance to attend this morning's meeting, your involvement is welcome at a second meeting today from 3:30-6:30 p.m. in 201 Rodli Hall. Photo by Deb Toftness.
Student Billing and Financial Aid Service Counter has moved
The Student Billing and Financial Aid Service Counter is now located in 315 North Hall. The physical location of the office has moved, but our efforts have not. Students will still be able to get all of their student
billing and financial aid questions answered in 315 North Hall, as they have at 217 North Hall in the past. Our office number is the same at 4111, and any emails can be sent to
billing.finaid@uwrf.edu.
Move vehicle from student parking lots
All vehicles must be moved out of all student parking lots by noon on Friday, Sept. 2, to accommodate for move-in day on Saturday. Students who need a place to park their vehicles after
this time may use W lot at Ramer or the southeast corner of O lot. Vehicles remaining in the restricted areas after noon on Friday will be cited and towed at the owner’s expense. Vehicles can be moved back to the restricted area after 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept.
3. Contact the Parking Department at 3333.
