Spring Semester Kicks Off
Murphy Library is offering a variety of student engagement events, programs, and workshops to kick off the Spring 2026 semester.
There will be two chances to make crafts (slime and knitting), two opportunities to grab your books on the go at our mobile library stops across campus, a free financial literacy workshop to improve your skills on “credit,” and an invitation to sing karaoke in the basement!
Check out the full descriptions for all February 2026 student engagement program listings on the UWL Events Calendar.
