RANGER RESTART: Updates, resources, and FAQs

Moving In

MOVE IN DAYS

As we focus on the start of a new academic year we find ourselves filled with emotions over the police officer involved shooting of Jacob Blake and subsequent events in our local Kenosha community.  The shooting this past Sunday and the protest that followed continue to point our learning community to the important work that needs to be done to eliminate racial inequality and social injustice that exists within our society.  It is important and necessary that there be a full and complete investigation, accountability, and a continued break down of barriers that prevent equality and justice for all.  The violence, destruction, and civil unrest in our greater community does not reflect the values of our UW-Parkside living and learning community as Chancellor Ford shared in her message to the campus.

Though our campus is situated outside the immediate area of the unrest we continue to monitor events closely and receive continual updates from local and state officials. The safety and security of every member of our campus community and property is a top priority. As you may be aware a 7PM curfew has been issued for Kenosha County.  Due to the curfew UW-Parkside Housing & Residence Life has made some adjustment to our Move-In Days. Please visit the link below for more specific information.
