Housing Highlights
June 17, 2020
Welcome to our first online issue of the Housing Highlights newsletter for Housing staff! With many people working from home and reduced operations on campus at this time, we have moved from the traditional monthly paper newsletter to a bi-weekly electronic format for the summer. This e-newsletter, produced by the Marketing team, focusing on important updates, new happenings, interesting stories, and helpful tips and resources for Housing employees. Each issue will also be posted on the Housing website and sent as a link via text message to the Housing employee list. We hope you enjoy the newsletter, and we welcome any feedback at marketing@housing.wisc.edu.
