The Campus Climate Survey is in full swing – make sure that your voice is heard! Everyone’s thoughts and opinions are important to us!
Now who does like a little incentive? The more people that complete the survey, the better chance you have to win a prize. If enough people fill it out, you could win a KINDLE!
If you don’t have any plans on Wednesday (or you have them and need an excuse to break them), I would recommend stopping by the Summers Auditorium in the UC for a screening of Overruled!, a documentary about the landmark ruling, Lawrence v Texas, that struck down sodomy laws and paved the way for greater equality for LGBT individuals.
Overruled!
7 October 2009 (Wednesday) – 8 PM
Summers Auditorium, University Center
Not only is there a showing of the short film, there will be a panel discussion and free pizza. I know, free food is pretty awesome.
This event is sponsored by the Students for a Fair Wisconsin – if you have any questions, please contact Heather Murray at MurrayHL27@uww.edu.

The Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds also much more information available on their website, including the affidavit required to submit for the benefits.
