U1.0 & MKE Scholars: Make a Difference Day and more

November has been a busy month for the U1.0 and MKE Scholars Living Learning Community. Starting on November 2^nd, the Career Planning and Resource Center had a speaker who spoke on the 21^st floor lounge. This presentation allowed the students to ask questions that they had about resumes, cover letters, volunteering and graduate school applications to better prepare them for their future. Students were also able to create/update their resumes and cover letters at this time. As an LLC we also participated in Fall Make a Difference Day on November 11^th. This event took place from 8:00am-12:00pm on a Saturday morning which was great that we had a total of 12 residents on our team to participate in this great cause. This event allowed the students to help the elderly in the Milwaukee area winterize their homes while bonding with additional residents from their floor. As of now for upcoming events, we are hoping to hear feedback on what students enjoy for their holiday dinners. If we have some suggestions with adequate time University Housing and the Inclusive Excellence Center will hold a holiday dinner for the LLC students to attend.

Aside from fun events, the semester is coming to an end leaving many things on your To Do list before enrollment. As 1^st Generation students this is all new to you, so don’t be afraid to reach out and ask questions to your Peer Mentor or Resident Assistant. Before you enroll for Spring 2018 classes you must meet with your academic adviser to discuss your recommended courses, complete the Panther Enrollment Checklist on PAWS, vote in the Union Referendum and pay the remainder of your tuition charges. It is also important to check the Holds and To Do columns on PAWS to ensure you have completed everything before enrollment. Your Spring Enrollment date will appear on the left had side of your PAWS home screen. To plan ahead, PAWS has a schedule planner that allows you to view all the possible schedules with your required classes. If you would like help accessing these materials and making sure you have completed everything on time feel free to reach out to RA Teagan in N2170C.
