"Successful
leaders see the opportunities in every difficulty rather than the difficulty in every opportunity." --Reed

Multiracial identities and awareness discussion set for tonight
Pioneering artist and author Kip Fulbeck will be on campus tonight as part of the Wyman Lecture Series. His multiracial identity project, "The Hapa Project,"
is on display in the Ames Gallery on the third floor of the UC through April 25. Fulbeck began the project in 2001, traveling the country photographing more than
1,200 volunteer subjects who self-identified as Hapa (defined for the project as mixed ethnic heritage with partial roots in Asian and/or Pacific Islander ancestry). Each
individual was photographed in a similar minimalist style, identified their ethnicities in their own words, and then hand wrote their response to the question “What are you?” Fulbeck
will be speaking at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Riverview Ballroom, UC. The event is free and open to the public. Photo by Kathy M. Helgeson.
Cascade Project update
The original plans to close Spruce Street to traffic from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. today, April 11, and Thursday, April 12, have changed. Instead, that intersection will be
closed from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. today in an effort to limit the closure to one day. Temporary water shutoffs will occur for Jimmy Johns and Mariachi Loco before 10 a.m.
and for Karges and May Hall after 9 a.m. The Spruce Street crosswalk will be closed all day today as well.
Chancellor's Advisory Council hosting open forums
The Chancellor’s Advisory Council on Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs will be hosting three one-hour open forums to discuss the possibility of a tobacco-free campus at UW-River Falls. The main purpose
of the forums is to gather input and generate discussion regarding a possible campus tobacco-free policy, with each forum starting with a short presentation of information and data. Each of these forums to students, faculty, and staff. The forums are set for
Monday, April 16 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in 120 South Hall; Tuesday, May 1 from 9-10 a.m. in the Kinnickinnic Theater, UC; and, Wednesday, May 2, from 3-4 p.m. in the Blanche Davis Theatre, KFA. Contact Alice or Keven at Student Health and Counseling Services
