WHE continues annual gift project
For the past 13 years Women in Higher Education has sponsored the Holiday Gift Program, a gift giving project for low-income, nontraditional-age and traditional-age students and their families. Last year's project reached 148 children, representing 49 families.

WHE recently sent a mailing to nontraditional-age students inviting them to place their names on a gift "wish" list. The project also is open to traditional-age students who are parents, but since it's difficult to identify those among that group who may be interested in participating, your assistance in forwarding their names would be appreciated.

Students who respond are asked to provide the ages of their children and their choice of gifts (a toy, article of clothing, etc.) up to $15 per person.

If you would like to participate in the WHE Gift Giving project, or if you know of any students needing assistance this holiday season, contact Patti See at seepk@uwec.edu or 836-4826 by Nov. 14.

During the following week, you will be sent instructions for providing a gift for a student's child.

Those participating are asked to bring their wrapped packages to a designated area in McIntyre Library by Dec. 4.
