Exchange Supplies During the Spring Sweep

The University Housing Sustainability Committee invites you to participate in the 2024 Spring Sweep! In the spirit of Housing’s “stewardship” core value, this is an opportunity to exchange surplus or unwanted items between Housing departments before sending them to SWAP. The Spring Sweep will be April 4–5, but it's not too early to start spring cleaning! Items can be dropped off at the Ogg or Holt loading docks beginning tomorrow.

Give Your Coworkers a Shout Out!

The Housing Engagement and Recognition Team (HEaRT) is putting together a video featuring you!

Shout outs in Chinese, Hmong, English, Nepali, Spanish, and Tibetan are welcome and encouraged! Interested? Let us know, and contact akramper@wisc.edu with any questions!
