Favorite UW-Eau Claire memories: I have many great memories of living in Governor's Hall from Fall 2000-Spring 2002 and doing the "chair dance" in the Homecoming parades. I was a spirited fan at many UW-Eau Claire basketball and hockey games and loved the fortune cookie tradition at Fifth Element concerts. I especially enjoyed my volunteer and work experiences while a UWEC student...both times!

Claire Parda, BSCHA-Health Care Administration,
Favorite UW-Eau Claire memories: The Blugold Marching Band was only 60 members my first year; and now it's over 200. My memories lie in creating the experience that you see every weekend. As color guard captain, I cherish the friendships, trips, and camaraderie. Go Blugolds!!! Women's hockey was also my passion; leading our team to the playoffs for the first time ever my junior year 2004-2005. Although I had some injuries and could not play my last year, I learned much about life and friendship.
