UW Service Day



In an effort to save funds and jobs, the prior administration instituted two academic years of mandatory furlough time. We are reaching the end of that period and the final mandatory day for some of the campus offices was May 17.

Some employees offered to donate their unpaid furlough time by assisting with projects in the community. There was a wide variety of services to participate in and I was honored to be a part of it. One of the great things about this was the questions I got when people saw my t-shirt. Given everything that has been going on politically in our state, it was nice to be part of a positive force.
