News & Announcements
HOUSE Day
Join us at the 13th Annual HOUSE Day on November 17, 2009 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Council Fire Room of Davies.
The hope is to increase communication between students and landlords in an effort to reduce complications associated with signing leases.
Representatives from the State Department of Consumer Protection and the campus lawyer will be on hand for part of the day to answer questions.
Check listings and meet and talk with landlords offering off-campus housing to students. More that 50 landlords typically attend.
There will be a ton of resources as well as a raffle/drawing for students who attend. Big prizes!
For more information on off-campus living, students also may check the UW-Eau Claire off-campus living Web page.

The Blugold Commitment
The Blugold Commitment is a proposed initiative that would enable UW-Eau Claire to enhance quality through expanding value-added experiences for all students while also improving four-year graduation rates. Please visit the Blugold Commitment Web site for additional details. Students may contact their Student Senators with any questions or concerns.
Student Health Insurance
Student Senate is determined to ensure that all UW-Eau Claire students have access to affordable health care coverage. Every student should plan for their health insurance needs and not have to worry about financing unexpected medical expenses that could occur through accident or illness while attending UW-Eau Claire.
If you are interested in this health insurance option, you may stop by the Student Senate office at Davies 132B to pick up an enrollment form or enroll online.
For more information, please visit the Student Health Insurance page. If you have any questions, please contact Student Senate at Davies 132 or by phone at (715) 836-4646.
OpenCourseWare Project
The OpenCourseWare Project at UWEC is a student led initiative to exhibit UWEC’s unique educational experience. Over the last 2 years, we have been collaborating with the Provost’s Office, Admissions, LTS, various faculty members, the OpenCourseWare Consortium, and the Student Senate. OpenCourseWare has been implemented and utilized successfully at universities worldwide to benefit higher education on a university, local, national, and global level.
The mission of this project at UWEC is to provide prospective students, current students, the media, other field experts, and various interested individuals the opportunity to easily preview and experience what makes our faculty and university unique.
Professors and interested students are asked to visit the project page to get more information about this initiative.
