Peregrine falcon project update:

The UW Oshkosh peregrine falcons produced three eggs this year, and have successfully reared one male chick.
We’d like to introduce you to Chance the Falcon, named after Lieutenant Chance Duenkel who assisted with the banding team this year.

This year’s female is new to UWO - she has replaced Julia who was our resident female for many years, along with Ga***rd, our resident male.

Looking for more info on the falcon program, where you can watch the falcon cam or make a donation to the program?

♻️ Moving out, Titans?

One of the best parts of move out at UW-Oshkosh is seeing useful items get a second life.

As students pack up for the end of the semester, small donation items can be placed in the lobby of each dorm and in 118 Stewart Hall.

Clothing, shoes, dishes, desk lamps, linens, electronics, books, games and other small items are welcome. Donations will go to Goodwill, and Titans are also welcome to browse the bins for items they can use.

One important reminder: couches, futons, TVs, microwaves and other large items should not be placed in campus dumpsters. Please make a plan to donate, sell, trade or take them home.

A cleaner move out, one reused item at a time. That’s Titan impact. 💛🧡
