Happy spring, friends. A lot has happened since last month’s edition. I hope everyone is safe and now has power from the winter storm we experienced in February. What a wild start to 2021! Campus was closed on Friday, February 12 due to ice and snow and then over the weekend freezing rain came in and caused a lot of ice damage. Unfortunately, many trees were damaged and broken in the ice storm. Fortunately we have a dedicated and talented staff of facilities workers here on campus who have been busy clearing and cutting and fixing everything. Thank you to the WOU Facilities Services staff! You are heroes and we love you!
In other news, it’s lovely to see flowers coming up and buds on trees. The smell of spring is in the air and you can catch glimpses of new life budding all over. The track and field teams have been practicing at the track, the choirs have gotten creative and are also utilizing the outdoor space at McArthur Stadium to practice their songs and the sports teams are working out regularly. Campus feels busy and that is a wonderful thing.
Tomorrow, March 2nd is Giving Day. In this special edition of PawPrints you can find information on how to give, matches and challenges happening and more.
