Faculty are encouraged to participate in community service opportunities through the CCBLLR both on and off campus. Some departments allow “release” time for staff to participate in service, however you must check with your supervisor. Faculty and staff can sign up to help out at the food pantry or at The Gathering. Further, if you would like to do service with your partner, spouse or kids, please contact us for opportunities that will meet your needs. The CCBLLR holds at least one episodic event a month—usually on Saturdays—and we encourage UWM families to join us. Some restrictions may apply. For more information contact Laurie Marks at lmarks@uwm.edu.
