Tradition is not built overnight! It takes the hard work of many people over many years. UW-Fox Valley has a very rich athletic tradition as evidenced by several league and state championships. The following intercollegiate athletic teams participate during each corresponding season: Fall - women's volleyball and soccer, Winter - basketball (men and women); Spring - tennis (men and women). There is also a men's club volleyball team that participates during the winter season. These athletes were not necessarily the "stars" on their high school teams. However, they are athletes that really love the game and wish to continue their athletic career. The common ground is that athletics at UW-Fox Valley provide opportunities for students to enrich their college experience.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS CLUB

Richard Krupnow (Advisor)
E-mail: richard.krupnow

Do you enjoy fantasy novels, elves, magic, claymores, gryphons, mythology, or Mountain Dew? If you answered yes to any one of these things, then you might be a perfect candidate for the UW-Fox D&D Club. What do we do? We gather at various times throughout the week, depending on who is controlling (or DMing) the game sessions to relax and enjoy a role-playing game with other students on campus. To describe how the game is played, it is much like the computer games Baldur’s Gate, Morrowind, or World of Warcraft; you make a character by selecting a race (elf, dwarf, tiefling, human, etc.) and class (fighter, ranger, wizard, etc.), then fill it in with certain attributes like skills and feats. During gameplay, the DM (or dungeon master) essentially takes on the role of the computer program. They set up and dictate what is happening in the world around the players while the players interact with each other to achieve different goals within the game. You are essentially playing an RPG you might find on your Xbox or computer as a tabletop game. For those of you who have played in the past, we stick mostly to 3.5e, although other editions are possible if multiple people show interest. So, don’t let every trip to school be stressful and don’t sit in a dark room playing computer games alone. Instead you can contact the D&D Club, find a game that works into your schedule, and enjoy some relaxation and socializing while you’re at school.

In doing this, we hope to eliminate, or at least lessen, the amount of red-tape and confusion that goes along with receiving your educational benefits, disabilities, and any other Veteran-specific benefits. Our meetings this year will be held on Mondays and Tuesdays, from 12:10 to 1:00 in room 1335. It is your choice which day of the week you wish to attend because both meetings will cover basically the same material. This is YOUR time to ask questions, and actually get answers!! I look forward to meeting all new Veterans, Dependents, and Students to UW Fox this year.

Here is a link to our Facebook Group. This page contains current events, new legislature updates, and V.O.O. business. You may also use this as a tool to keep yourself "in the loop" with new information pertaining to Veterans!!
