Student Engagement

​In the past couple of weeks, we were able to participate in activity fairs on the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and Viterbo campuses.

At the Viterbo Welcome Back Bash, we set up a table in their Mathy center surrounded by other local businesses and on-campus organizations. New students and other community businesses alike stopped by to talk to us and learn about what we are doing. We were able to learn about many of the opportunities for service and engagement that Viterbo students will have throughout their academic careers. It was so great to see so many members of the La Crosse area come together to present options for work and volunteering to these students, as well. We even had the chance to make our own trail mix!

We were also part of University of Wisconsin-La Crosse’s Sample the City and Volunteer Fair. Our table was one of many on the university’s student union lawn. It was a beautiful day, and it felt like fall with just a slight chill. We were able to see all of the community engagement available to students in our area. A huge number of students signed up to learn more and help us build homes, communities and hope. One student stopped by and said his family lives in a Habitat home. It is incredible to see how this work comes full circle!
