Cinco de Mayo Progressive Leadership Training!

The UWL Progressives would like to welcome you to join
them for an afternoon of fun-filled leadership
training! An energizing event filled with chances to
pick up new skills which will benefit the UWL campus,
La Crosse community, and beyond!

The afternoon's events will be an in-depth look at how
to fundraise, get out the vote, be a great leader,
work with the media, and more! To cap off the days
work, we'll travel over to 1104 State to have a
