We are pleased to announce that the Leadership Lived Experience (LLE) student employment initiative application is now available. The LLE program was launched in December 2013 with the purpose of improving undergraduate student retention by increasing employment opportunities on campus and by providing professional development experiences for students. Students participating in an LLE can expect to gain professional skills and real-world experience while pursuing their degree.
Due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, Sept. 5, the SHIELD testing site in WUIS 28 will be closed. The site will reopen at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6.
Thank you, and have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.
