2003 WHE gift program touched many lives
For the 13th consecutive year, Women in Higher Education invited nontraditional-age and traditional-age UW-Eau Claire students with children to receive gifts. Forty-eight student parents requested gifts for a total of 100 children. Patti See, Academic Skills Center, coordinated the program and collected $945 from faculty, staff and students for grocery-store gift certificates. This totaled almost $3,000 in gifts and food certificates for students and their families.

Rita Sorkness, McIntyre Library, processed cash donations. Cheryl Cutsforth, Janice Bogstad and Ronadin Carey, all from McIntyre Library, coordinated dropoff and distribution signs in the library and supervised the Technical Services area, where students picked up gifts during final exam week. Many people in that office gave their time, space and patience for gift distribution. Many others at UW-Eau Claire gave their time to sort and distribute gifts to families.

Thank you to everyone who made this year's gift program
so successful!
