Welcome Back Fighting Saints!

Hugh Mungus 

 With fall break in our rear view mirror, it is time to look to see what the rest of this semester has in store for students here at the University of Saint Francis. 

Starting this Monday (10/24) the GSA will be hosting Queer Chats in Tower Hall room N225. Queer Chats will take place from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. with the conversation centering around Polyamorous Relationships.

Soccer fans are going to get a real kick out of this news!  On Tuesday (10/25) the men's soccer team are set to compete against Judson University at 7 p.m.. But that's not all we have for sports news on a Tuesday! Along with men's soccer, the girls volleyball team is set for action against Olivet Nazarene University at 7 p.m. in the Pat Sullivan Center.

On Wednesday (10/26), everyone's favorite shuttle will be venturing off into the unknown (Walmart) at 7 p.m.. So Saints, get your shopping list written up and be ready to be picked up outside the Pat Sullivan Center. 

On Thursday (10/27) there will be an Internships Paneling Event and Discussion in the Turk Theatre from 2:20 p.m. until 3:45 p.m..  A statement by the Servant Leaders regarding this event reads: BOO! Join the Servant Leaders for our first ever internship discussion led and programmed by students for students! This is an opportunity for those who have not yet had their internship to learn the process and how to find a company that aligns with your moral and ethical values. After the panel, our very own Career Success Center will be speaking on career opportunities as well! Join us for food, refreshments, and Halloween treats! All are welcome to join!" 

In addition, this semester is going to be coming to an end quicker than we realize, meaning it's time for student's to start the registration process for the spring semester. Seniors can begin registering for classes as soon as this week, with juniors beginning the process next Monday with sophomores and freshmen soon to follow. So be sure to get in touch with your advisor today!

Wisconsin High School Sports Face An Uncertain Winter Season

By Sarah Vandermolen photo courtesy of nytimes.com Although most Wisconsin high schools decided to compete in fall sports this year, it seems some schools will not have the same luck for the winter sport season. Unlike other states, Wisconsin does not have a statewide mandate in regards to high school sports. For this reason, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) has left school districts to decide whether they will be participating in winter sports.  Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases, many high schools in Wisconsin have decided to suspend their winter sport season, while others are charging forward with competitions. However, even if schools decide to hold their winter season, not all high schools will begin on time.  According to rivertowns.net , "Locally, River Falls and New Richmond have suspended all athletics and activities through Dec. 7, while Hudson, St. Croix Central and Somerset are beginning as planned."  St. Croix Central athletic dire...
