Chancellor Gow gives 2015-2016 sneak peak for UWL “Keep your options open, and maybe go after some things that are a little scary. I was not very excited about taking a speech class [as a college student], but I had to in order to graduate. And I found out I kind of liked giving speeches.”

By Alexander Johnson News Editor

Always an active presence on the UWLa Crosse campus, Chancellor Jow Gow keeps the students and faculty informed on university happenings. With the 2015-2016 academic school year just beginning, Gow gave an exclusive look into this year’s exciting ventures, advice for students and what being a UWL Eagle truly means.

Q: What are you most excited for in 20152016 school year?

A: “Well, we’re going to have a very good size entering class; there will be about 50 more than we had last year. I’m always excited about that because it means people are enthusiastic about coming to UWL, and that reaffirms why we do what we do.”

Q: What new or continuing projects will be happening?

A: “The big one that everyone will notice will be the student center project, which you can now see the second floor of. In the spring of this coming year, they’re going to start working on the new science labs building.

But there are also other things, not building related, that are happening. We are going to have our reaccreditation visit from the Higher Learning Commission, which only happens every ten years. But there will also be surprises and new things happening.”

Q: If you could give an incoming student one piece of advice for this new journey at UW-L, what would you tell them?

A: “Take advantage of everything that’s here. There are a lot of great people, organizations and ways to be involved. I would get out there, get engaged and meet as

them?

A: “Plan ahead for the future; you want to be thinking about what you want to do when you graduate, but don’t stress about that. There is a lot of time. When I was a student, I never would have dreamed I would be Chancellor of a university, but here I am. Keep growing. Keep developing. You Alexander Johnson The Racquet don’t have to have your entire many people as you can. After being here for nine years, I get to be with alumni from long life figured out when you graduate, but follow ago, and they met partners and people here your heart.”

Q: Coming from your own experience as they still keep in contact with. This is a really a college student, what wisdom can you give? special time to explore.”

A: “Keep your options open, and maybe Q: If you could give a returning student one piece of advice, what would you tell go after some things that are a little scary. I was not very excited about taking a speech

class, but I had to in order to graduate. And I found out I kind of liked giving speeches.”

Q: What is one accomplishment you want the students to strive for this year? The professors?

A: ‘For the students, to do their best and to represent us well. I hope students know that when they go out and have fun, people do see them as representatives of UWL. For the professors, keep doing their best. I know that’s not easy because our faculty and staff are paid by the State of Wisconsin, so they aren’t paid competitively. I am really inspired by our staff here, that they don’t pull back and keep delivering for our students and I hope they will continue to do that. At the administrative level, I can promise we will continue to advocate and fight for better compensation.”

Q: What does UWL mean to you?

A: “The beauty of UWL, and I’ve been here almost nine years, is that the people here do world class things. Three out of the past four years we’ve had the Wisconsin Professor of the Year, which is very prestigious. People are very successful and down to earth, and I love that about this place. I feel very comfortable here, and I hope they feel the same.”

Q: If UWL were to be talked about on national news for one achievement, what would you want that achievement to be?

A: “I think a collaboration between students, faculty and staff, that was socially beneficial. That would represent exactly what we are here to do.”

Q: Finish this sentence: “This year, UWL will be…”

A: “The top ranked comprehensive in the UW system, and one of the most outstanding universities of its kind in the country.”

10 things every UWL Eagle should do before college graduation

By Elena Montanye Copy Editor

It’s the beginning of the school year again. New freshman are moving into dorms with thorough check-lists and stomachs full of butterflies, and returning students are desperately clinging to their last days of summer, putting off buying pens and collecting textbooks so as not to accept defeat.

Whichever category you fall into this year, one thing is inevitable: the Eagles are back in action. Of course everyone’s main focus should be academics, but college is just as much about making memories and trying new things. Lucky for us, UW-La Crosse is chalk full of experiences just waiting to be had. To be sure you haven’t missed anything, check out this list of ten things every Eagle should do before graduation.

• Hike the bluffs This one’s pretty much a given.

The bluffs are a staple of La Crosse, and you will be given a multitude of opportunities to hike them with orientation groups, dorm floors, clubs and friends, and you should take as many of those opportunities as possible. They’re iconic for a reason, and there are so many different trails to explore, each one breathtaking and completely unique to La Crosse. You won’t find anything like it elsewhere.

• Eat ice cream at The Pearl The first time an Eagle discovers The Pearl, their life is forever changed.

This tiny ice cream parlor is delicious in itself – the booths, the smell, the friendly workers, the 50s vibe – but the ice cream is even sweeter. They even have coffee and other treats to satisfy that winter sweet tooth.

Visiting is a must for every Eagle.

• See a play UW-L’s theater department puts on a number of productions

throughout the semester, and they don’t disappoint. It’s amazing to see how talented your fellow Eagles are, and supporting the arts is always a worthwhile way to spend an evening.

• Go to the Rotary Lights The end of first semester is hectic to say the least, but this tried and true UW-L favorite is an excellent release from finals stress. The Rotary Lights are nearly magical, transforming Riverside Park into a full-on winter wonderland. It makes a great date with your special someone or a perfect evening out with friends.

Either way, there’s no better way to unwind in the winter than with some holiday joy.

• Participate in a trip through UWL Outdoor Connection UW-L’s Outdoor Connection is located in the Rec Center, and their friendly, energetic and knowledgeable staff works hard all semester putting on trips for students.

You don’t have to have a lot of time or money to participate; there are plenty of day trips like paddle boarding and kayaking, as well as overnight trips backpacking or rock climbing all over the Midwest. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, check out the OC’s J-term and spring break trips. Adventure is always waiting at the OC. • Befriend a www.tripadvisor.comprofessor UW-L is full to the brim with incredible, awardwinning professors whose doors are always open to students. Take advantage of this. Find a professor you connect with, and build a relationship with them. It can lead to research opportunities, internships, killer letters of recommendation and one more meaningful relationship to have on and off campus. Reaching out to professors is always a good decision.

• Find your favorite coffee shop Coffee shops are great places to study, read, hang out with friends or grab a cup of Joe to go. However you

plan to use it, finding that one coffee shop that speaks to you can seriously enhance your college experience.

Check out McCaffrey’s, the Root Note, Jules Coffee House or any of the other various coffee shops around La Crosse, and discover your off-campus haven.

• Catch a movie at The Rivoli The Rivoli, affectionately referred to as The Riv, is one of La Crosse’s most unique establishments. It’s a movie theater like none you’ve ever experienced. Grab your friends and head downtown to catch a discounted movie, and while you’re at it, order pizza, nachos or anything else on the menu to enjoy during your chosen flick. Those who are over 21 can even order beer to enhance their viewing experience. What could be better?

• Walk along the marsh Most Eagles discover quickly that La Crosse is teeming with nature, and students here build a deep appreciation for the city’s natural beauty throughout their four years.

The marsh trail is right across the street from campus, and no two walks along the trail are ever the same. It’s a great place to exercise, let your mind wander and de-stress.

• Take a few moments to look around and realize how proud you are to be a UWL Eagle You already know that UWL is special; after all, you made the decision to come here. But college can be overwhelming, and at some point, all students will inevitably forget about that initial excitement and wonder of being on campus. Above anything else that you will do before you graduate, take time to appreciate the incredible university and city you now call home. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.

With classes beginning their fall semesters all over the country, a realization suddenly hits: summer is over. Just because beach days and summer jobs are ending doesn’t mean the fun is over yet. It has only just begun!

Fraternity and Sorority Life on campus offers a great way to make your school year just as fun as the summer months. “Going Greek” is a way to gain a wonderful group of friends who are supportive and help ease the transition into college life, especially for freshmen members. Greek life isn’t just about the social aspect, though. By joining, members can expect to be involved in the campus and La Crosse community, participate in philanthropies, and begin networking with other members.

Fortunately, all of these can help during job searches or make a resume standout in a sea of others.

UW-La Crosse has two sororities: Alpha Phi and Alpha Xi Delta, and four fraternities, Delta Sigma Phi, Chi Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Tau Gamma. Rush week, which is when each organization begins recruiting members for the fall semester, begins even before school starts. Current members update their Facebook pages with recruitment events and begin tabling around campus to offer potential members more information on how to join. Campus sidewalks are chalked with events like “Get the Scoop on Greek Life,” where students can eat free ice cream and learn about the La Crosse chapters. This semester, it will be held on September 8th from 7:00-9:00pm in Valhalla, which is in Cartwright Center.

Chapters are typically involved in multiple

different social media, like Facebook and Twitter, so check them out there, too!

While each Greek organization is not limited to fundraising for one single philanthropy, they all have one specific philanthropy that they consistently raise money for. The sorority Alpha Xi Delta supports Autism Speaks and Alpha Phi donates money towards the Alpha Phi foundation which funds research for women’s heart health. Philanthropies are incredibly important to Greek organizations and are often one of their pillars, which are the important characteristics that define the chapter and its members.

There is a lot of negativity that is directed at Greek Life, often showed in the media. However, that shouldn’t be a determining factor for why students should shy away from rushing. Fraternity and Sorority members, especially in La Crosse, are working hard to beat the stigma against Greek Life. Members strive to show the great opportunities and fun events they participate in, like the charity softball game that Chi Phi holds, or the all night Dance Marathon that Sigma Alpha Epsilon hosts. There are also social opportunities that are less formal, such as movie nights, barbecues, crafting nights, etc.

For anyone interested, check out the Lifesaver’s Table by the clock tower on September 8th, which is also the first day of classes. Members will be directing students who need help to their classes and passing out fliers. Get the Scoop on Greek Life is also that night and Greek Life will also be present at Involvement Fest on Wednesday, September 16th. Greek Life is a great way to make college some of the most memorable years of members lives and create friendships that are not just four years, but for life.

My journey through UWLa Crosse has been an exciting, enriching and, for the most part, challenging experience. My days as an undergraduate were filled with many learning experiences, each one exciting and new, which allowed me to grow and develop a newfound independence as a young adult. The knowledge that I acquired throughout my college career has provided me with an education that will allow me to live a more enriching life for the rest of my life.

As an incoming college freshman, the idea of graduating seemed a very strange endeavor.

My positive experience in high school had shown that I had all the tools I needed to succeed, but I had already graduated - why did I have to do it all again? After being accepted to UW-L, I began to worry that I would not be as smart everyone else, that I would never decide upon a major and that I wouldn’t be able to make any friends. After my move to Angell Hall, I began to acclimate to my new environment. I started to let go of my nervous inhibitions and previous perspectives and began to meet

new people and gain confidence as a college student.

After the first two years of college, however, my classes became harder. I often worried that I had chosen the wrong major and that I would never make it to graduation. Despite all of the challenges that each of my classes provided for me, each semester I found myself learning more and more. I eventually began to feel confident in my abilities and my knowledge of Computer Science, and my studies became more rewarding.

After the final, most difficult, stretch of my undergraduate career, graduation seemed a much more feasible outcome.

Graduating allowed me to see the extent of what I had learned and how I have grown. It made me much more confident that I will have a successful future.

Going back to UW-L as a graduate student feels a bit strange; my new experiences seem to be over, many of my old friends are pursuing careers and I am still stuck going to school.

But if my past experiences have shown me anything, it’s that no matter what, I will love every minute of it.

A summer in Europe: An experience of a lifetime

By Mary Purdy Copy Editor

Have you ever considered taking a summer, semester or year to study abroad?

Maybe you have but there were obstacles in your way: The cost, the time, nerves. Before dismissing this idea, you should know that there are resources to help you. There are multiple scholarships and stipends through UW-La Crosse as well as the program you choose. You can choose how long you want

I also ate authentic Spanish meals and experienced becoming a local in Salamanca. to stay abroad. 4 weeks? Or 6 weeks? This summer I studied in Salamanca, Spain for 6 weeks, and it was an unforgettable experience.

When would I study? Could I afford it? These are many questions students ask themselves. After I went to the Spanish Advising Fair at UW-L this spring, all of my questions were answered, and my doubts vanished. I learned about different studying abroad options through UW-L and other programs. In the end, I chose to study through Academic Programs International

(API). With API, every student gets two

program advisors for predeparture and another during their time abroad.

They are helpful, organized and passionate about their jobs. API advisors were always willing to do anything, like going to the pharmacy for medicine or calling the airport for lost luggage.

In Salamanca, I studied Spanish grammar, literature and history at the University of Salamanca. My professors were fantastic. I went to class five days a week and four hours a day. Some of my fellow students were from the United States of America; however, some students were from other countries like England and Turkey.

In addition to my classes, I learned about the Spanish culture outside the classroom by living with a host family.

seven other countries. I visited England, Ireland, France, Portugal, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. My favorite country that I visited was England. As a big Jane Austen fan, it was an amazing experience to visit Bath, where most of her novels are based.

In addition to Bath, I went to Kings Cross Station to Platform 9 ¾ and took a picture with Harry Potter’s luggage and Hedwig.

Another favorite memory in England was seeing the Queen of England and the Royal Family during the Queen’s birthday parade.

It was a chance of a lifetime and completely unexpected and unplanned!

What did you do this summer? Maybe you visited Europe or another continent?

Or studied abroad in another country? My summer was packed. I visited 8 countries and studied abroad for 6 weeks in Salamanca, Spain. It was an unforgettable experience, and I hope every student can take the opportunity to study abroad.
