The lounge
A place to be between classes that isn't a hallway or a car: day-use lockers, a fridge and microwave, somewhere to nap and somewhere to work, and a printer. Commuters consistently rank it the single most useful thing the office provides.
Everything else
Programming scheduled for the lunch hour rather than 8 p.m. so commuters can actually attend, a carpool-matching board with a parking discount, and severe-weather updates pushed early enough to matter for a drive in.
In and around Porter Falls
Day-to-day life at Porter runs between Founders Union, the residence halls on the south quad and North Campus across the Riverfront Trail. The Porter Loop shuttle and a compact footprint mean most students can get anywhere on campus in under fifteen minutes on foot.
The practical details
Lounge: Founders Union — lockers, a kitchenette, quiet and lounge areas, a printer. Parking: Commuter permit tiers by lot distance; a carpool discount. Events: Timed for the midday gap, not the evening. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Dean of Students Office (Founders Union, Room 200). Call (715) 555–0182 or email deanofstudents@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
