COVID-19 Update

On behalf of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, as well as the UWL Foundation and UWL Alumni Association, we hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy during this worldwide health crisis. Please know we are thinking of you.

The University has responded swiftly and appropriately to the threats that we face today and expect to face in the immediate future. You can learn more about the steps we are all taking through the link provided above in the yellow banner. With multiple active cases in La Crosse County, we are taking it very seriously to attempt to protect the entire UWL family.

As a result, we have had to make several changes to our operations, including allowing our team to work remotely. We will process gifts, memberships and all requests as soon as we are able. We are connected electronically so please feel free to email anyone that you need to reach. We also receive our phone messages in our email system so please leave a message if you do call.

While we won't have the opportunity to see you in person in the coming weeks, we hope you'll remain in touch with us and that you'll stay engaged with UWL through our social media and other platforms. If you have questions about events or other Foundation and Alumni Association programs, please do not hesitate to contact us at foundation@uwlax.edu or alumni@uwlax.edu. You can also reach us by phone at (877) 895-3863 or (877) 895-2586.
