Multicultural Faculty & Staff Organization (MUFASO)

A Welcome Message from Jearold Holland, MUFASO President

Jearold Holland, MUFASO President

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Welcome to the Multicultural Faculty and Staff Organization (MUFASO) at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. After years of planning, MUFASO was “officially” established at UW-L in 2007-2008 and is comprised of faculty and staff throughout the university from a variety of disciplines, departments, and units.  MUFASO encourages participation and opens its membership to any and all university faculty and staff regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and other human differences.  As you will see from our By-Laws, MUFASO’s mission is broad and includes serving the university community in a number of areas as well as acting as a professional and communal resource for multicultural faculty and staff. 

If you would like more information regarding MUFASO, please feel free to contact me or one of the other organization officers.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Jearold Holland, President
