Get Involved with the Theme Year

The University Theme has something for everyone, and the purpose is to get students, staff, community members thinking about new ideas, talking to others, and trying out new things.

Here’s how you can get involved with the University Theme.

Follow the University Theme Facebook Page to learn about theme events and connect with others.


Attend Events

Throughout the academic year, many campus events will focus on building global connections, celebrating our diverse backgrounds and exploring opportunities around the world.

The OR 100 D2L Sandbox provides videos and activities that Introduction to Higher Education instructors can use in their classrooms. Instructors may also contact Darcie Anderson at darcie.anderson@winona.edu for more information or to request an in-class visit or presentation.
