Take a Student to Coffee Program
Read more
Read less
TheTake a Student to Coffeeprogram, supported by the
Division of Student Affairs
&
The Parent Fund
, is an opportunity for outside-the-classroom connections between students and faculty/staff. The program is designed for a faculty or staff member to invite a student for a coffee, beverage or snack and use the time to get to know each other better and/or to discuss projects, events or activities. We hope this program encourages meaningful discussions and the development of lasting mentor/mentee relationships.
Faculty/staff members may
apply
to receive a $10 certificate to use to take a student out to coffee or a snack at an on-campus Chartwells dining location. Certificates will be mailed through campus mail. Faculty/staff are then welcome to invite any student to a coffee conversation. Once a certificate is used at the Chartwells location, both the faculty/staff member and the student will receive a survey to complete.
More information is available on the
Student Affairs Website
.

The City of La Crosse would like to remind residents and students that large item collection is no longer provided by the city. Items that are too large or heavy to fit in your garbage cart are considered a large item. These include couches, cabinets, desks, carpet, tables, etc. It is the resident's responsibility to dispose of large items.
Students who are renting in the City of La Crosse should be actively discussing this situation with their landlords to see what options are available according to the terms of their lease. Materials should not be left out for disposal unless the materials have been contracted for removal.
Here is a list of resources to consider when disposing of unwanted large items. Some of these organizations also provide free large-item pickup services.
Donated items
Habitat for Humanity
The Exchange
The Salvation Army
Unusable items
Harter’s Curbside Pickup
(Arrange for curbside pickup for a fee.)
La Crosse County Landfill
(Residential drop off for a fee.)

Take a Student to Coffee Program
Read more
Read less
TheTake a Student to Coffeeprogram, supported by the
Division of Student Affairs
&
The Parent Fund
, is an opportunity for outside-the-classroom connections between students and faculty/staff. The program is designed for a faculty or staff member to invite a student for a coffee, beverage or snack and use the time to get to know each other better and/or to discuss projects, events or activities. We hope this program encourages meaningful discussions and the development of lasting mentor/mentee relationships.
Faculty/staff members may
apply
to receive a $10 certificate to use to take a student out to coffee or a snack at an on-campus Chartwells dining location. Certificates will be mailed through campus mail. Faculty/staff are then welcome to invite any student to a coffee conversation. Once a certificate is used at the Chartwells location, both the faculty/staff member and the student will receive a survey to complete.
More information is available on the
Student Affairs Website
.

The City of La Crosse would like to remind residents and students that large item collection is no longer provided by the city. Items that are too large or heavy to fit in your garbage cart are considered a large item. These include couches, cabinets, desks, carpet, tables, etc. It is the resident's responsibility to dispose of large items.
Students who are renting in the City of La Crosse should be actively discussing this situation with their landlords to see what options are available according to the terms of their lease. Materials should not be left out for disposal unless the materials have been contracted for removal.
Here is a list of resources to consider when disposing of unwanted large items. Some of these organizations also provide free large-item pickup services.
Donated items
Habitat for Humanity
The Exchange
The Salvation Army
Unusable items
Harter’s Curbside Pickup
(Arrange for curbside pickup for a fee.)
La Crosse County Landfill
(Residential drop off for a fee.)
