- Join us at the Assessment Hunker on May 21, 2025. Dedicated work time to work on...well, anything! Sure, the theme is assessment (think promotion/retention files, assignment or test revisions, general education assessment) but really, you can work on anything in a quiet space, enjoying drinks throughout the day. Consultants available. Lunch provided to registered attendees.
- The window to apply for a Community Engaged Learning (CEL) designation for spring 2026 courses is now open. A preview of the CEL proposal can be viewed here. If you’re looking to connect with a community partner, you can find potential project ideas on the UWL Community Idea Exchange or contact UWL Director of Community Engagement Lisa Klein. The Office of Community Engagement is excited to welcome you to the growing list of CEL instructors at UWL. The round one deadline to apply for the spring 2026 semester is September 15, 2025. The CEL designation will be applied to your course by the start of registration. The round two deadline for spring 2026 is January 15, 2026. If you apply by the round two deadline, the designation will not be applied to your course at the start of registration.
