We know this year has been tough for many people, financially, emotionally, health-wise and beyond. With that in mind, we decided to cancel Donate for a Difference, our annual day of giving. Watch the video above for this update and others from CAFES Dean Dale Gallenberg.

We encourage each and every one of our alumni to reflect on how they may be able to give back to the College through their time, talent or, if appropriate, a financial gift. While this is not an exhaustive list, here are some ways you may consider giving back to UWRF and CAFES.

For most people, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we interact, communicate and work with others. We recognize that CAFES students are also faced with similar challenges when it comes to virtual learning, networking and career decisions. In order to provide our CAFES students with support, the CAFES Alumni Board would like to create a mentorship program, connecting current students with alumni to develop relationships that are mutually beneficial.

Mentorship has the potential to provide a positive environment, decrease stress and anxiety, and foster personal and professional learning and development. What we need is YOUR help! We are looking for individuals that would like to serve on a committee to create, define, recruit and initiate a mentorship program within CAFES. By creating a formal program, we hope to encourage students and alumni to get involved, provide them with resources, and start making a difference!

If interested in participating on the committee or being a mentor, please fill out this form.
