All invited to community reception celebrating inauguration

November 10, 2008

As part of a week-long celebration of Chancellor Richard Telfer’s inauguration, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater will host a community reception Thursday, Nov. 13, at the Cravath Lakefront Building from 4-6 p.m.

Members of the inaugural committee see this event as a celebration and a chance to connect to those who may not have ties to the UW-Whitewater campus. “We want this to be an opportunity for folks to stop by and celebrate the inauguration,” said Jan Bilgen, associate director of Career and Leadership Development. “We want community members to experience, through fellowship, the Telfer’s commitment to connecting the campus community.”

Also at the reception will be the announcement of the “best of show” award for the Food on the Move program, which is a display of food donated by students and staff on the UW-Whitewater campus.

Hot and cold beverages and light refreshments will be served. The community reception is sponsored by the Telfer family, the UW-Whitewater Inauguration committee and the UW-Whitewater Foundation.
