Kudos to Jeannine Rowe, professor of social work, who received an $84,401 grant from the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services to enhance the social engagement of residents of Fairhaven Seniors Services. As part of the grant, UW-Whitewater students in a community-based learning class on aging and health use a creative storytelling technique, TimeSlips, to engage residents. This class is co-taught by Rowe and Eun Young Jang, assistant professor of social work.
 Kudos to geography majors Brett Steck and Kristen Barman, who helped set up, coordinate and judge the Aerospace Jam Competition — a competition for high school teams across the state to use drones on a NASA Artemis-inspired simulated moon mission — on April 7 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The goal was to increase diversity in high school STEM and to raise awareness of the NASA Artemis program. The competition was sponsored by the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium and the Milwaukee Bucks, and co-led by Eric Compas, professor of geography, geology and environmental science.

Kudos to K9 Truus and Lieutenant Kelsey Servi, who received a letter of commendation from the Janesville Police Department for their assistance in a criminal investigation, during a search for a discarded firearm that was used in an attempted homicide at the Edgerton Oasis. On the second day of the search, in under an hour, the firearm was located by K9 Truus and Lt. Servi in a tall grassy area, “where we would not likely have found it without their assistance.” The evidence will be used as part of the prosecution of the Dane County case.
 Kudos to Media Arts and Game Development students Cassidy Ochowski, Kelsey Preisler, and Salem Radey, who were responsible for the design, layout and graphics of the recently released State of Wisconsin Clean Energy Plan, a collaboration of the Wisconsin Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy, the Great Plains Institute and Slipstream, Inc. Salem, left, and Kelsey are pictured with Gov. Tony Evers at the announcement of the plan at the City of Madison Fleet Services on April 19, 2022. Read more »
