Maintenance minute: How Housing staff clear snow and ice
|
It’s almost that time of year again! We bet you didn’t know Housing staff plans for winter weather as early as October. Your safety is our top priority, so
Facilities staff are always ready to keep sidewalks and entryways clear and safe for walking on. When cold weather hits, full-time and student staff are out shoveling, plowing, and spreading salt at all times of day. We also have support from the Grounds department to help keep roads and larger walkways cleared. This winter, make sure their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed!

Bucky's burning question
|
Where can I go to pet dogs on campus?
|
|
Â
|
|
Quite a few places, actually! Dogs on Call is a local organization that provides access to therapy dogs in the Madison area! The group has
strong ties with UW–Madison and works to bring their furry friends to common spaces around campus, including the residence halls. Events for students run over the course of the semester, especially during exam seasons. Looking to spend time with some dogs? Check out their schedule and find a Dogs on Call event near you!
