Some stories really can only be effectively told in the first person, which is why we make efforts to give the student voice a variety of platforms from which to be heard. One of these platforms is social media blog spots, like Tumblr.
Below you will find over 20 Tumblr stories, reflections, and personal accounts of student experience at UW-Eau Claire. Enjoy these powerful and thoughtfully crafted works by some hard-working Blugolds. Each writer brings a different background, context and set of values to the table, and the blend of voices that emerges is wonderful.
