For GUEC’s Annual Community Service Day on May 21st, full time staff divided into 5 different groups to increase their visibility and impact in the community.  The groups helped at various organizations including: Habitat for Humanity to build benches and “Kubb” games as a part of a fundraiser, Delong Middle school to help students with a garden project and Feed My People Food Bank to help repackage pasta, Beaver Creek Nature Reserve to clean up trails, Manz Elementary School to record books on tape for their battle of books program, help with projects in the library, and change artwork, and the Girl Scouts Office to help prep for a beautification project.

Two teams, each consisting of four Globe-Eau Claire staff bowled to support “Bowl for Kids’ Sake 2010” on May 6^th. The event was a fundraiser to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin. The two teams, “Globe Strikers” and “More Globe Strikers” raised  $730.

On Tuesday, May 11 Business of Massage students coordinated a Relay for Life fundraiser. Funds were raised through a bake sale, with baked goods provided by students. During the afternoon, all Globe University – Eau Claire students had an opportunity to buy pieces of duct tape for a good cause; they were then able to tape Dean of Faculty, Stephen Ivancic to a wall in the commons area.
