Fair Trade

Fair Trade is a way to ensure that workers and growers in Latin America, Africa, and Asia get a living wage and humane working conditions, while preserving the environment. Here is some information about this important movement. For more information about Fair Trade at UW Oshkosh, contact David Barnhill, barnhill@uwosh.edu.

Bike and Pedestrian Survey

The City of Oshkosh is updating its Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan and they are looking for public input from people who live, work, study, or recreate in Oshkosh. They have developed a website that has links to an online survey:

pedestrian_bicycle_plan

Even if you do not currently use a bike or walk to campus, completing the survey will help the city learn why you do not, or how they might improve city infrastructure.

Most of us use city facilities every day: sidewalks along streets carrying automobiles through campus are built by the city, to their current standards. The last public meeting was in August, so student and staff input was not representative of UW Oshkosh pedestrians and bicyclists. So please consider giving the city some feedback from the campus community.
