Commuter Appreciation Week

Welcome to the third Commuter Appreciation Week. This time, we want to do more than just acknowledge the extra effort commuter students must make to come to campus each day. We want to increase university-wide recognition of commuter needs, issues, and experiences. For this reason, we ask for you to share a story about your life by clicking here. Once we receive your story, your name will automatically be entered into a drawing for one of two $50 Co-Op gift cards. Entries must be received by noon on April 3, 2009, and completion of this form serves as consent that we can share your story publicly (but your name and e-mail will be used for prize-drawing purposes ONLY). Additionally, we’ll be holding many events for commuters:
