It was great to see everyone at the final COLS Opening Day on Tuesday! For those unable to attend, information about the COLS award winners will be posted on our website. We have another opportunity to come together and to mingle with our colleagues in Nursing, Business, and Education and Human Services next Thursday, September 12, 4:30-6:30 pm at the Lakeshore Park Pavillion (1875 Punhoqua, Oshkosh). The event will be potluck style and will feature a taco bar. Hope to see you there!

UPCOMING EVENTS

• One last reminder about Titans Day of Giving next Thursday, September 12. If you have department- or program-specific mailing lists or social media accounts make a plan in advance to share information about Giving Day on September 12. This campaign helps raise awareness about our excellent programs and students as well as raising funds!
