Joint statement on updated masking expectations: UW-Eau Claire, UW-River Falls and ��Ͽ�polingj February 16, 2022

This morning, UW System President Tommy Thompson announced that he is working with UW System universities to end the mandatory masking requirements as soon as Tuesday, March 1, and no later than spring break. See the original news release here.

As a result of this UW System decision, masking requirements will be suspended at UW-Eau Claire, UW-River Falls and ��Ͽ� at the end of the day on Friday, March 11.

The universities are proud to have served their communities by offering testing, vaccinations and contributing to the overall public health in the region throughout the pandemic and are prepared to begin the transition from pandemic to endemic operations. Communities, school districts and institutions across the state are phasing out mask requirements as COVID-19 cases are declining and hospitalizations are decreasing.

Ensuring primary vaccinations and a booster shot have been received and wearing a well-fitted mask such as a KN95 or N95 continues to be the best protection against COVID-19. All who want to continue wearing masks on campus are encouraged to do so and to respect everyone’s right to make that personal decision. The universities will continue to monitor COVID-19, consult with public health professionals and adjust policies if circumstances change.

Free COVID-19 testing remains available for university and community members at all three of the universities through Friday, April 1.

Katherine P. Frank

Katherine P. Frank became the eighth chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Stout, after a distinguished career as an administrator and faculty member.

Before her appointment as chancellor, Chancellor Frank served from 2016 in two roles at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Wash., as Provost and Vice President of Academic and Student Life and Vice President of Academic Innovation. She also held the rank of Professor of English.

From summer 2014 until spring 2016, she was Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Northern Kentucky University. Frank served as Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences at Indiana University East, Chair of English and Foreign Languages at Colorado State University-Pueblo, and a faculty member and administrator of programs involving student writing, faculty professional development, and student success.

Chancellor Frank, the first female leader of ��Ͽ�, grew up in Colorado and has a bachelor’s degree in English from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine. She has master’s and doctorate degrees in English from the University of Washington, Seattle. Frank’s research interests include Romantic and Victorian English Literature, rhetoric and composition, the scholarship of teaching, and academic leadership.

“I am delighted to join ��Ͽ�,” Chancellor Frank said. “Throughout the search process, I became increasingly impressed by the high-quality work and creative thinking exhibited by faculty, staff, and students at ��Ͽ�, as well as the strong, reciprocal relationships among the university, community, and regional partners. Everyone demonstrated dedication to the university and exhibited true focus on ensuring student success.

“As beautifully stated by one alumna, ‘Stout is where you need to be.’ I could not agree more and am honored to join this exceptional community of educators, learners, partners, and friends.”

“Dr. Frank has demonstrated throughout her academic career that she is a strategic, dynamic leader,” said UW System President Ray Cross. “She handles challenges extremely well. Her visionary perspective on the future of ��Ͽ� will serve the institution and the state of Wisconsin very well.”

Five university students among 70 statewide to receive $7,000 award

At first, Grace Pederson couldn’t believe what she was seeing. The University of Wisconsin-Stout student received a message that she had won a $7,000 scholarship.

Her first thought was, “Oh my gosh! I better double-check that this isn't a mistake before calling mom!” she said.

It wasn’t a mistake. Pederson is one of 70 UW System students chosen randomly to receive the scholarship. The System announced the scholarships Nov. 16 to celebrate the success of its Vax Up! “70 for 70” campaign to help reduce COVID-19 infection rates across campuses and statewide.

Pederson, a sophomore from Eau Claire, is one of five ��Ͽ� students — or $35,000 total — to receive the scholarship.

“It’s a huge honor and will help me explore my passions,” said Pederson, who has switched her major twice and now is in the environmental science program.

She has worked part time to help pay for her education, so receiving a major award such as this out of the blue still is a shock. “This scholarship will certainly take some stress off,” she said.

Pederson also is thankful for the opportunity to get a COVID-19 vaccine, which qualified her for the System scholarship drawing but is even more valuable to her personally.

“Getting vaccinated was a necessity for me. I have multiple people in my family who have compromised immune systems,” she said.

As of Thursday, Nov. 18, 78% of students and 91% of faculty and staff at ��Ͽ� have been vaccinated.

“We are so proud of our students who stepped up to the plate and helped our campus reach the 70% vaccination rate,” said Sandi Scott, ��Ͽ� dean of students. “It’s exciting to know that the scholarship dollars were awarded to randomly selected students who helped us hit the mark!”

In addition to the System scholarships, the university is providing another seven scholarships for the same amount through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund — HEERF III — federal grant. Those winners also have been randomly chosen but still are in the process of being verified.

UW System President Tommy Thompson set a goal for 12 universities to reach a 70% student vaccination rate. All but one reached the goal, while UW-Madison ran its own campaign.

��Ͽ� students reached the goal on Sept. 29, well ahead of the Oct. 31 System deadline.

“We took up a challenge to educate and inform students as a part of a vaccination campaign to help keep our universities safe – and it has succeeded,” Thompson said. “What a thrill it is to be able to tell students they have won a $7,000 scholarship. I am so proud of our students, faculty, staff and administrators who helped make this happen.”

The System released a short video on social media featuring Thompson celebrating the accomplishment with all university mascots, including ��Ͽ�’s Blaze.

Kylie Anderson, a graduate student at ��Ͽ�, won a photo shoot with the university mascot Blaze as part of ��Ͽ�’s efforts to encourage students to get the COVID-19 vaccine. / ��Ͽ�

Other student winners

Vaccinated students at ��Ͽ� also were eligible for daily prizes during the fall campaign. More than 60 of them won items including gift cards for local businesses and campus outlets, gift baskets and group private boxes for Blue Devil football and basketball games.

Another prize was a photo shoot with the campus mascot, Blaze. The winner was Kylie Anderson, of Somerset, who is graduating in December with a master’s degree in school counseling. She also earned her bachelor’s from ��Ͽ�.

For the photo shoot, Anderson included three of her best college friends. “It was a super fun experience for us to have together before I graduate in December. It's something that I can cherish forever, especially because Stout is so important to me as an alumni,” Anderson said.

She interned this fall at two public schools, one of the reasons she was vaccinated.

“I knew getting vaccinated would be important to help keep safe those students I was working with daily,” she said.

“I care greatly for the Stout and Menomonie communities. Between my bachelor's degree and my master's degree, I've been a student at Stout for five and a half years, so I have great care and love for campus and the people who make it great. Keeping them and myself safe was super important.”

UW System President Thompson helps students celebrate 70% vaccination ratepolingj October 11, 2021

Event draws crowd outside student center to mark progress against pandemic

A special visitor helped make Monday, Oct. 11, a day to remember in University of Wisconsin-Stout’s fight against COVID-19.

On a mild fall afternoon, students celebrated their 70% vaccination rate with free ice cream during a rally led by UW System President Tommy Thompson outside the Memorial Student Center.

“Thank you to all of you,” said Thompson, the former state governor who flew in from Madison for the day. “I’m dedicated to keeping these campuses stay open and making sure that we would be as safe as possible. I know how important education is. I know how important these schools are.”

Thompson praised students for reaching the 70% goal on Sept. 29 as part of the UW System’s 70 for 70 campaign, but he encouraged them to keep going. The vaccination effort is a major reason why the System has largely returned to normal operations with 75% of classes in person this semester, he said.

“Get vaccinated, stay healthy and enjoy Stout. It’s the finest polytechnic school, in my opinion, in the country,” he said.

Another vaccination clinic will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 14, on campus.

Chancellor Katherine Frank, who introduced Thompson and also spent much of the day with him and UW System officials on campus, announced that the student vaccination rate is up to 75% and the faculty and staff rate is 90%, well ahead of the Dunn County rate of 45%.

“Stout is doing great and is helping serve as a model for other universities and the community. We couldn’t be prouder,” Frank said.

Student Taylor Mancl, a sophomore from Wisconsin Rapids majoring in early childhood education, and her friends enjoyed some ice cream and the partylike atmosphere, which included free ��Ͽ� T-shirts.

“It’s exciting to see things coming back to normal and a chance to celebrate our accomplishment,” said Mancl, who is vaccinated. “The next step is no masks — that would be great.”

Masks are required indoors this fall at ��Ͽ�.

Eli Lemery, a senior from Galena, Ill., majoring in retail merchandising and management, said he feels safer this semester knowing that most students and employees are vaccinated.

“It means a lot to know people are vaccinated and are being respectful and wearing masks. Last semester it seemed like you didn’t know. I was in a house with eight guys. Everyone got COVID but two of us; I didn’t. I got vaccinated in March,” Lemery said.

Vaccinated students will be entered into a drawing later this fall to win one of several $7,000 UW System scholarships. ��Ͽ� will award an additional seven, $7,000 scholarships to fully vaccinated students through a separate drawing.

Any student who has been fully vaccinated and uploads their information to the university’s secure database by Sunday, Oct. 31, remains eligible for the scholarships. Learn more at the “Do Your Part” Vaccination Incentive Program webpage.

A day at ��Ͽ�

Thompson spent most of the day on campus, meeting with numerous university officials and groups and taking a tour. He also held a working lunch at the student center with City of Menomonie, Dunn County and regional officials.

“This is a fantastic campus, and more people need to know about it,” Thompson said. “Ninety-eight point eight percent of graduates get a job, the highest of any university in the country. We need to tell the story.”

He cited ��Ͽ�’s polytechnic designation. “Stout could be a magnet for the country. There’s nothing like it,” he said, mentioning that he has a sister and nephew who graduated from ��Ͽ�.

He recalled three other personal Menomonie connections: working for a paving company for about a month one summer while he was in college; playing a role, while governor, in Sam Walton’s decision to build a Walmart distribution center in the city; and also while governor helping break ground for the Stout Technology and Business Park on the city’s east side.

Thompson stressed that the universities in the UW System need to be good partners within their area to help each other grow. On that point, Menomonie Mayor Randy Knaack commented that residents need to realize how important ��Ͽ� is to the community and vice versa.

“Let’s grow the city, the area and the university,” Thompson said.

Vaccination rate for students hits 70%, reaching UW System goalpolingj September 28, 2021

Achievement makes them eligible for scholarships; campus celebration planned Oct. 11

Students at University of Wisconsin-Stout have done their part: 70% have stepped up to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

University officials announced Wednesday, Sept. 29, that students had reached the campus-by-campus goal that was set during the summer by the UW System.

“We are excited to be celebrating this achievement, and I want to thank all of the students who stepped up to ‘do their part’ to contribute to the health and well-being of our campus and community. ��Ͽ� employees deserve recognition as well for both helping with the campaign and reaching an employee vaccination rate of 88.73%,” said Chancellor Katherine Frank.

Students crossed the campus mall as classes resumed at ��Ͽ� this fall. / ��Ͽ�

In helping to protect themselves, the university, and area community, vaccinated students also become eligible to reap extra rewards as part of the UW System’s 70 for 70 campaign. They will be entered into a drawing later this fall to win a $7,000 UW System scholarship.

The number of UW System-sponsored scholarships to be awarded at ��Ͽ� will be announced in the near future. A total of 70 scholarships will be divided among System schools that reach 70%, except UW-Madison.

��Ͽ� will award an additional seven, $7,000 scholarships to fully vaccinated students through a separate drawing. Funding for the scholarships will come from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund — HEERF III — federal grant.

To celebrate reaching 70%, ��Ͽ� is planning a campus event Monday, Oct. 11, with details to be announced.

In helping to protect themselves, the university, and area community, vaccinated students also become eligible to reap extra rewards as part of the UW System’s 70 for 70 campaign. / ��Ͽ�

Vaccinated students at ��Ͽ� remain eligible through Friday, Oct. 15 for Blue Devil gear, gift certificates from local businesses and more. Prizes are being awarded daily.

Because ��Ͽ� students have reached 70%, the student government organization, Stout Student Association, is eligible to receive up to $5,000 from the UW System.

With the Oct. 31 System deadline for scholarship eligibility, students still have time to get vaccinated and upload their information. Free vaccination clinics will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, on the lawn south of the Memorial Student Center; and from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 13, at Student Health Services. Learn more at the webpage.

The UW System does not require students to be vaccinated. The 70% threshold was chosen based on estimates about the percentage of the population needed to reach herd immunity, which represents those who are vaccinated or who already had the virus and indicates a minimal level of communitywide protection.

Knock and Talk initiative returns, welcomes back off-campus studentspowersp September 3, 2021

Faculty, staff members to visit about 250 homes Sept. 7

University of Wisconsin-Stout students who live off campus likely will get a friendly knock at their door on Tuesday, Sept. 7, the day before fall semester classes begin.

Faculty and staff members will welcome back students living in the community as part of the university’s Knock and Talk initiative, which started in 2016. About 20 faculty and staff volunteers are expected to visit 250 homes in several neighborhoods around the campus from noon to 6 p.m. to drop off about 700 welcome back bags.

“We wanted to connect with our off-campus students, welcome them back and encourage them to make safe and healthy choices, particularly about high-risk alcohol usage,” said Nate Kirkman, assistant dean of students who is leading the effort.

The reusable bags will include a variety of things: information on safety, city ordinances, student conduct policies, voting, tenant rights, and local service agencies; coupons and small gifts from local businesses and other entities; COVID-19 information including a thermometer and information on receiving vaccines.

Last year Knock and Talk was moved to Johnson Fieldhouse because of COVID-19 concerns, with students encouraged to visit and pick up their welcome bags.

“We want to bring the message to our off-campus students that the university cares for them, and we want them to be involved in the Stout community,” Kirkman said. “We want Stout students to be positive bystanders and take care of and look out for their fellow Blue Devils.”

��Ͽ� Chancellor Katherine Frank and interim Provost Glendali Rodriguez will be participating in the initiative.

Knock and Talk is sponsored by the Dean of Students office, the Chancellor’s Coalition on Drugs and Alcohol, University Counseling Center, Stout Student Association, Student Health Services, Memorial Student Center, the Office of Safety and Risk Management, and University Police.

Special circumstance withdrawals
Student conduct administration
Student rights and responsibilities
Student complaints
Policies, procedures, and information about appeals
Title IX - concerns regarding sexual misconduct
Bias concerns or issues

Additional Resources

Keeping Everyone Informed

The Dean of Students is one of the main points of contact for emergency incidents. Please follow the instructions below for connecting with your student or keeping the university informed of external situations that could impact your student's attendance.

Contacting a Student During a Family Crisis

Sometimes a family member might have difficulty contacting a student in a time of crisis, such as a medical emergency or a death in the family.

To help ease financial burdens caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency grant funds have been made available to University of Wisconsin-Stout students thanks to three rounds of federal funding and through the generosity of donors to the Stout University Foundation.

Since the initial round of CARES — Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act — funding in March of 2020 through today with grant aid from HEERF III — Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund — approximately 4,700 ��Ͽ� students have benefited from over $5.7 million in federal emergency aid. Another $7.2 million in aid will be distributed to students this academic year.

To be eligible, students need to show exceptional financial need or identify a hardship or barrier that has impacted their learning, academic or personal success during the pandemic.

“We are so grateful for the funding from the federal government and the donors who supported the ��Ͽ� Foundation to remove barriers for students in need of financial support. It helps keep them enrolled, on track to graduate, and students are able to devote more time to their studies and academic interests,” said Dean of Students Sandi Scott.

The support is helping students like Mohamad Karam Mounir, a senior majoring in computer networking and information technology. He was notified recently in an email from the Dean of Students office that he qualified for funding. “This email made my entire summer,” said Mounir, who is a native of Syria, lived in Rice Lake for four years and moved in 2020 to Menomonie.

“Your caring support for the students will make a great difference to me. I am going to be focusing more on my classes and keep my grades at A’s level straight. I will be ready to pay for my internet and my classes and some gas bills, and I will be ready for more school challenges,” Mounir said.

Additional emergency grant aid is available from the Stout University Foundation. Chancellor Katherine Frank and her husband, Joe Dvorsky, donated $15,000 initially in 2020 to create the Student Emergency Fund and have committed $50,000 over three years.

Emergency aid is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Other staff, faculty and ��Ͽ� donors have contributed to the fund.

Most emergency grants from the Foundation are $500. Students may seek funding for school-related expenses such as housing or food assistance, supplies, transportation, health care or child care.

The Student Emergency Fund will be highlighted during ��Ͽ�’s annual giving day, Stout Gives Back, on Tuesday, Nov. 30, with new donations matched up to $15,000 by Frank and Dvorsky.

The fund also will be supported this academic year through the Stout Ambassadors program. In an effort to give back to the community, the approximately 10 ambassadors will launch the Stout Impact Project, a peer fundraising initiative, with part of the proceeds going to the fund. Ambassadors are student volunteers chosen by the Alumni Association to engage with the campus community, alumni, corporations and campus leadership.

Learn more about HEERF III and the Student Emergency Fund here or contact the Dean of Students office.

Fall classes begin Wednesday, Sept. 8, at ��Ͽ�.

Student fall vaccination push includes scholarships, other prizes

Student fall vaccination push includes scholarships, other prizespolingj July 26, 2021

Special incentives offered to ��Ͽ� students, coinciding with UW System’s 70 for 70 campaign

The benefits of a COVID-19 vaccination have been well-publicized: Proven protection against a potentially deadly illness.

Students at University of Wisconsin-Stout this fall will have more reasons to get the vaccine: Scholarships and prizes.

On Sunday, the UW System announced its 70 for 70 student vaccination campaign. At each campus, excluding UW-Madison, once 70% of students are vaccinated, a portion of 70 scholarships will be awarded. The scholarships, $7,000 each, will be given out via campus drawings at the qualifying schools.

��Ͽ� is going a step further to encourage its incoming and returning students to protect themselves, the campus and regional community. It will award additional scholarships, matching the number it receives from the UW System.

Also, vaccinated students at ��Ͽ� will be eligible throughout the verification period for Blue Devil gear, gifts from local businesses, daily gift cards and more.

Any student who has been fully vaccinated and uploads their information to a secure database by Thursday, Oct. 15, will be eligible.

Students already vaccinated are eligible. Information about how to get the vaccine is available in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois.

“While we’re striving for a minimum of 70% of our student population vaccinated, we know we can do better,” said Chancellor Katherine Frank. “We’re asking every Blue Devil to do their part and get the COVID vaccine to help protect our community and each other. Blue Devils always rise to the occasion.”

In the coming weeks, a ��Ͽ� vaccine incentive webpage will provide the latest information on campus vaccination clinics, daily prize drawings and the grand scholarship prizes.

“As we welcome students back to campus this fall, we want their experience to be as normal and safe as we can make it,” said System President Tommy Thompson. “That means students should get vaccinated, and we will incentivize it knowing that high vaccination rates are critical to our success. The ‘70 for 70’ campaign is key to helping all our comprehensive universities achieve higher vaccination rates, especially in the face of the looming threat the Delta variant poses.”

UW System will not require students to be vaccinated. The 70% threshold was chosen based on estimates about the percentage of the population needed to reach herd immunity, which represents those who are vaccinated or who already had the virus and indicates a minimal level of communitywide protection.

UW-Eau Claire, UW-Barron County-Eau Claire, UW-River Falls, ��Ͽ� relax requirements for vaccinated individuals

UW-Eau Claire, UW-Barron County-Eau Claire, UW-River Falls, ��Ͽ� relax requirements for vaccinated individualspowersp May 27, 2021

Starting June 1, University of Wisconsin System schools in Eau Claire, Menomonie and River Falls will relax their face covering and physical distancing requirements on campus for people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

The updates to campus health and safety guidelines at UW-Eau Claire, ��Ͽ� and UW-River Falls reflect recent COVID-19 guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Wisconsin Department of Health Services and local public health agencies.

“Through our actions, UW-Eau Claire and other western Wisconsin universities have shown we care deeply about the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff, but also about the communities where we live and work every day,” says UW-Eau Claire Chancellor James Schmidt. “Our campus communities understood that the only way to combat COVID-19 was together by wearing masks, physical distancing, getting tested and now being vaccinated. We now enthusiastically look forward to the return to a normal campus environment this fall.”

“On behalf of UW-River Falls, I am deeply grateful for the work of our campus community to help mitigate the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said UW-River Falls Interim Chancellor Connie Foster. “This commitment to following our campus health and safety guidance is now paying off and we are finally able to begin returning to what we know to be our most effective ways of educating and interacting with our students and of collaborating with each other.”

“The health and safety of our employees and the community have been at the forefront of our planning efforts, and we are pleased to have reached this milestone,” says ��Ͽ� Chancellor Katherine Frank. “As Wisconsin’s Polytechnic University, it is especially important that we are able to resume regular operations this fall to support our students’ success through access to laboratories, studios, and facilities. Our faculty, staff, and students have responded tremendously in support of the health and safety measures, and I am confident that they will continue their efforts for a successful fall return by continuing the necessary precautions, including vaccinations.”

The chancellors strongly encourage all students, faculty and staff to receive the vaccine. People who are not fully vaccinated will be required to continue to be tested and follow masking and physical distancing requirements.

University Dining’s Fireside Café in student center is among projects

Fireside Café is a popular eating location for students and staff at University of Wisconsin-Stout’s Memorial Student Center. Yet, a group of students in a Product Photography class realized there were few, if any, pictures of the dining options available at the café or on University Dining’s website.

The students decided to help resolve that as part of a class project.

“They have very few pictures of the food, which is a good way to show the products,” said Breanna Scherer, of Kenosha, a junior video production major. “There is nothing public on display.”

Scherer and senior video production majors Colin Podborny, Fox River Grove, Ill., and Kyle Burger, Lake Mills, approached University Dining about using Fireside Café as a class project. University Dining gladly helped, providing prepared food, dishes and kitchen utensils to help create the photoshoot.

“We knew we wanted to get a wide range of food, but we knew it needed to be stable to bring it into the studio,” Podborny said, noting there are baked goods, sandwiches, wraps and burgers featured in the product photos. “This is quality, top-notch, homemade food and we wanted to show that. We wanted to get a lot of ��Ͽ�’s branding too in the photos. We used a ��Ͽ� lanyard to help with that.”

Director of University Dining Services Justin Krahn said dining is evaluating how to incorporate the photos into its current marketing. “We appreciate being involved in students’ experiences on campus,” Krahn said. “University Dining is here to contribute and enhance the total student experience. We care about having a welcoming atmosphere, good food, good customer service, meaningful work experiences and being a resource for students on campus.”

Working with University Dining replicated working with a real-world client, Podborny said. “You need to have communication skills,” he said. “You’ve got to talk to the client. You’ve got to know what they want.”

University Dining Executive Chef David Leach provided input for the project and said the students did a good job on the photos.

“The students are great to work with when they are working at dining. We are the largest employer of students on campus,” Leach said. “It’s important for dining to help when we can, not just on projects but other areas of their campus experience too.”

The Product Photography class, taught by senior lecturer Keif Oss, also teaches time management and team skills, Podborny added.

“I think so far Product Photography is the closest to a real-world application I have had,” Podborny said. “I think you could easily take everything you have learned in class and use it outside of class.”

Students learned food styling from Kat Lillvis, a 2015 alumna with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design and interactive media with a concentration in interaction design, who is a food stylist and photographer.

“This is different from any photography I have done before,” Scherer said, noting students use close-up shots and shoot straight down at products.

Another guest lecturer this semester was Martin Nilsen, a 2015 alumnus in multimedia design who is photo and video services manager for Curt Manufacturing in Eau Claire. Nilsen helped guide students on the importance of shooting hard product lines, such as trailer hitches that Curt manufactures.

Product photos for Menomonie candy store

Josh Stream, a junior video production major from Hudson, worked on a team that created product shots for C&J’s Candy Store and Scoop Shoppe in downtown Menomonie. Other team members included Natalie Watters, of St. Paul, and Hannah Bautch, of Minneapolis.

“We were trying to think what something fun to do. We thought candy store,” Stream said. “Candy is colorful and there are endless art things we could do. The story also has an international section. We just thought it would be an opportunity to be creative.”

The students took photos of Clark’s Teaberry gum, which has a mint-like flavor like eastern teaberry. They used other red-colored candy such as licorice around the teaberry gum to help highlight the color of the gum’s package.

For Stream one of the best parts of the class is to work in a team with multiple people who have strengths. “It was fun to work toward a common goal and to work with a client,” Stream said. “I just like the variety of this class that we get to learn so many things.”

Oss said when there are clients students are more engaged because their work is being seen by a larger audience. “It takes a project from something they have to do for a class to something they want to do,” Oss said. “They want to please these people. They have to sell a vision. They have to communicate what they are doing to the client.”

Another goal is to make sure students have quality photography to include in their portfolios when they graduate, Oss said.

The Product Photography class was held in person with students social distancing this semester. Students signed up for studio time and checked out equipment that had been cleaned to prevent any potential spread of COVID-19, Oss said.

In a recent studio session, Jasmine Frederick, a junior graphic design and interactive media student, helped set up a food product shot of yogurt with granola for a video. “I like the challenge of this class,” Frederick said. “This helps open my eyes to how instrumental graphic design is to video production. Lighting is such a key factor. It has to be perfect to shoot.”

Frederick picked up granola and tossed it toward the yogurt, trying to get a video of the two coming together in a bowl. “Oh gosh, the accuracy,” she said laughing.

Community Vaccination Clinic with Mayo, Dunn County Public Health to be held May 13 on campuspolingj May 6, 2021

Up to about 1,000 people can receive Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson vaccine

Three Dunn County institutions are partnering to offer a free Community Vaccination Clinic at University of Wisconsin-Stout.

��Ͽ�, Mayo Clinic Health System and Dunn County Public Health will hold the clinic from 1 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 13, in the Multipurpose Room at the university’s Sports and Fitness Center, 220 13th Ave. E.

The center is part of the athletics complex on the south end of campus.

Parking will be available in lots 4 and 29 near the building. Refer to the campus map for directions. Signs will direct visitors to the Sports and Fitness Center.

Participants will have a choice of vaccines, the one-dose Johnson & Johnson Janssen or the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Those who choose Pfizer should plan to receive the second dose at the same location on Thursday, June 3.

Officials estimate that the vaccination process, including wait time after the shot, will take 30 minutes per person. Masks are required.

Advance registration through Dunn County is requested but not required to receive the vaccine. Walk-ins will be accepted.

Supplies will be available to vaccinate up to 1,000 people. The shots will be administered by health personnel from Mayo and ��Ͽ�.

Residents of Dunn County who have not been vaccinated are encouraged to attend, but the clinic is open to everyone, including ��Ͽ� students.

The vaccination is free. No insurance card is needed.

The J&J Janssen COVID-19 vaccine is available for individuals 17 and older. The Pfizer vaccine is available to individuals 16 and older. Anyone 16 or 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and must be available in three weeks to receive the second Pfizer dose.

According to the state Department of Health Services, as of April 30 a total of 34.4% of Dunn County residents had been vaccinated, well below the state average of 43.1%.

Those who are vaccinated will receive a vaccination card.

For more information or questions about the vaccine, contact Dunn County Public Health at 715-232-2188. For more information or questions about the clinic itself, contact the ��Ͽ� Dean of Students Office at 715-232-1181.
