From the Chancellor at UW-Whitewater

I would like to express my thanks to all members of the campus community for their efforts and cooperation during the aftermath of the boiler explosion on the 16th.  The efforts of the University Police, Facilities Planning and Management, Residence Life, Chartwells/University Dining Services, the University Center, Recreation Sports and Facilities, and others are appreciated.  We also appreciate the efforts of all of those from off campus who helped to contain the problem and work to restore full services to campus.

I am pleased with the way students, faculty, and staff on campus responded.  While there clearly were inconveniences, I heard many examples where individuals were able to work together to make the situation better and to keep a positive perspective.  The decision by Whitewater Student Government (WSG), Residence Hall Association (RHA, and the Student Entertainment and Awareness League (SEAL) to turn this inconvenience into an opportunity for awareness of water needs in the world by supporting the Rotary India Water Trust is gratifying.

 Thanks again, UW-Whitewater.
