Letter | UW fosters volunteerism with Peace Corps

The Capital Times

Letter to the editor: Standing in stark contrast to this academic wasteland is the announcement that UW Madison has, over several years now, produced more Peace Corps volunteers than any other campus in the country. This accomplishment does not happen by chance but is the product of vision and hard work by the International Division of the University, our campus recruiter, and the tireless work of the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Wisconsin–Madison in volunteer recruitment. Congratulations to them. They are still able to find students with hearts to serve and to inspire them to follow their dreams.

UW Madison Assistant Director of Federal Rewards Katy Weisenburger said her office is working to extend deadlines for students who, to know fault of their own, couldn’t make the FAFSA process work.

”I have seen a lot of students be very discouraged, yes, for sure…. I have had parents crying about not being able to get this done,” she said. “It’s a really awful situation. I would not be surprised if some students choose to not apply for financial aid or choose to not go to school because of this situation, which is really sad.”

Divestment is a foolish demand of campus protesters — Carl Sinderbrand

Wisconsin State Journal

Letter to the editor: In this global economy, more companies do business with Israel than don’t. Additionally, many of these companies develop medical and other technologies that save lives and advance human knowledge. Then there is the hypocrisy: If UW-Madison must divest in Apple and other phone makers because of its Israeli market (and use of its products by the military), are UW students going to give up their iPhones?
