Students who studied abroad in Scotland pose for a photo.

Kudos to graduate students led by Gina Martin, assistant professor of counselor education, who recently studied abroad in Scotland! A group of students studying to be counselors learned about Scottish culture, covering topics like mental health in Scotland and across different cultures. It was an eye-opening and reflective experience! 

Kudos to Police Officer Justin Stuppy and K9 Tilla, who participated in the City of Whitewater’s Ghouls Night Out, a citywide trick-or-treat event. The duo collaborated with Main Street Laundry to hand out candy. Tilla enjoyed visiting with members of the community and allowing kids to pet him. Photo courtesy of Tom Ganser.
