University Centers provide services and
facilities, as well as educational and cultural programs that
enhance the quality of college life. Cartwright Center and
Whitney Center are the focal points for student organizations
and activities. These facilities are self-amortizing structures
financed by student fees, receipts from dining services, and
other revenue sources.
UW-L Dining Services offer an
assortment of different dining locations within Cartwright and
Whitney Centers to meet the variety of needs and tastes of the
campus community. Students may select from several contract meal
plans, block meal plans, and cash/Tower Tender options.
The Leadership and Involvement Center
supports and promotes volunteerism and involvement throughout
the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and the greater community.
To meet this mission the Involvement Center works to: serve as a
“bridge” between students, faculty, staff, and the community;
provide opportunities and experiences that promote learning and
enhance professional and personal growth; provide peer mentoring
and advising for co-curricular involvement; promote volunteer
opportunities in local, national, and international service
organizations; encourage participation in student organizations
and in campus activities; and serve as a resource for student
organizations regarding involvement and volunteer opportunities.
The Diversity Center is a devoted safe
space for students of color, international students,
women, LGBTIQQAA students and students with disabilities. The
center offers meeting, study and relaxation spaces, a small
computer lab, comfortable furniture, a microwave, television,
and refrigerator. The Diversity Center is open to ALL STUDENTS.
The Pride Center is devoted to serving
students, faculty, staff and members of the campus community
that may or may not label themselves as queer, lesbian,
bisexual, transgender, gay, intersex, questioning, asexual,
their allies, and students with LGBTIQQAA parents. The center
offers panels, educational programs, information, and most
importantly, support and advocacy. We provide LGBTIQQAA
specific magazines, books, and videos for check out.
The Campus Activities Board is a
student-run programming board that provides entertaining and
educational activities for the entire campus community. Events
such as small and large concerts, comedians, coffee house acts,
and special events are offered to students, faculty, staff, and
the community. Several educational events are offered. These
activities may include fine arts programming such as theater,
music, lecture, and dance. The Distinguished Lecture Series also

of national prominence due to their significant contributions to
society.
