Community Connections
With its growing number of international students on campus,
UW-Barron County invites community members to participate in
their Community Connections program. You can make a small or
large commitment by taking students out to a movie, a concert, a
walk by the Red Cedar River, or a meal in your home with your
family. Some have shared canoe rides, ice-fishing, BBQ and
holiday parties with our students. Befriending an international student is a great way for your
family to get to know someone from another culture and to share your own. We especially
need people to reach out to students in late August and September and then in December
and January. For more information, contact the International Program Coordinators,
Mary Hankins (mary.hankins@uwc.edu) or Lee Friederich (lee.friederich@uwc.edu).
Alliance
Alliance is a social, emotional, and educational support group for gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender, queer and ally populations on campus and in the surrounding communities.
Alliance also acts as an educational student organization to provide greater awareness of the
issues that concern the members, the university, and surrounding communities. For more
information, contact the UW-BC student advisor, Chris Wylie at: christopher.wylie@uwc.edu.
