Check out one of the leadership projects that is taking place in Dr. Stacy Jensen's COM 333 Leadership and Communication class!
Meet Lillian Hanmann, a 19-year-old student at Wisconsin Lutheran College who’s not only studying Leadership and Communications but is also living it out! Inspired by her sponsored child in Guatemala, Lillian took on a unique community service project as part of her Christian Leadership program. She decided to make a difference by organizing a Candy Apple Fundraiser — and it was a sweet success! 🍎 🍎 🍎
With donated apples from Patterson Orchards, Lillian and a group of friends spent a weekend making delicious caramel apples.
“The best part was how our community came together to support a great cause,” Lillian shared. At a local football game, they sold the candy apples and raised $600 for her sponsored child's community in Guatemala.
Why did she do it? Lillian first learned about Food for the Hungry’s sponsorship program at a TobyMac concert and felt called to help. Her passion for creating impact led her to dream up this fundraiser, and she hopes to continue supporting FH’s work to bring lasting change.
Join the movement!
Get inspired like Lillian and find creative ways to give back. Together, we can help communities build brighter futures. 🌍
We're looking forward to graduation tomorrow! We will be celebrating with our communication grades tomorrow from 10 a.m. until about noon in Fischer! If you are comm grad on campus tomorrow, feel free to swing by to say hi!
If you or someone you know is interesting in teaching communication at WLC, check out the call for nominations for a communication faculty member!

Earlier this semester, Meghan Spredemann, Health Program Director for the City of Wauwatosa, visited COM 340: Health Communication. Students created public health campaigns addressing their priority areas and presented them to her today!

Getting in all in one picture was a trick (which is why there are two), but the recent display of published work from WLC professors in the library included work from the communication department: "His Days, My Praise," which include devotions by Jerralyn Moudry, a book chapter about the musical Hamilton by Jessica Gehrke, and two intercultural volumes edited by Deb Uecker.
It's the first week of classes! We hope it is going well for everyone! What advice would you give to our students for a successful school year?
