It's Not Goodbye, it's See You Later!

Welcome to finals week, Badgers! We know that you'll do great on your exams and projects. With finals week comes move-out week. While we're bummed to see you go, we're excited for your next chapter! Take care of yourself this week, have a fun and safe summer, and thank you for a wonderful year in the residence halls.

What to Know During Move-Out Week

It's a busy week as you're taking finals and preparing to move out of your residence hall. Make sure you know when the desks and dining markets are open, what's on your checklist to complete before you leave, information about parking, quiet hours, and more. All residence halls will be closing at 7pm on May 13.

Moving Out? Don't Throw it Out!

As you're preparing to move out for the year, consider donating or recycling the items you no longer want or need! There are donation stations outside near your residence hall where you can sustainably say goodbye to futons, electronics, rugs, and so much more. Check the maps in your residence hall to find the location nearest you.

Take Time for Yourself this Week

To help, they'll be offering free group fitness classes and additional meditation classes to all current members. Take some time to unwind, and know that it’s not bad to give yourself a break.

Finish Strong, Badgers! You've Got This

We’re in the homestretch! As the academic year winds down and spring is here (or trying!), remember to take care of yourself and each other. Let’s stay focused and #FinishStrong, Badgers.
