UPDATED: UW-Parkside Mask Requirement –

Summer Term

The following indoor mask/face covering guidelines are in effect until further notice:

Masks/Face coverings are required inside campus buildings for unvaccinated individuals. Masks may be removed when eating, alone in a private office, and/or in one’s residence hall room.
Masks/Face coverings are required in classrooms/labs for all participants (vaccinated and unvaccinated). Classrooms/labs are defined as spaces being used for academic, in-person instruction.
Masks/Face coverings are optional for fully vaccinated individuals inside campus buildings (except in classrooms as defined above).
Participants of youth camps must follow mask/face covering policies as directed.

We acknowledge that the wearing of a mask/face covering is NOT an indication of one’s vaccination status. Individuals may choose to wear a mask due to personal choice, underlying health conditions, and/or for the protection of vulnerable family members.

Remember, you can get vaccinated by calling the Student Health & Counseling Center at 262-595-2366 to make an appointment. Or you can visit https://www.vaccines.gov/search to find a vaccination clinic near you.

Hey Record Breakers!

We just closed out the academic year with some great news - 515 UW-Parkside alumni gave back to their alma mater. That is the most alumni to make a gift to UW-Parkside in a single year.

We had a goal of 500 alumni donors. Here's what happened:

The goal was surpassed - 515 alumni donors made a gift by end of day on June 30
108 new alumni donors helped crush the goal
Rangers were difference makers
