Falcon Challenges

Falcons, We Challenge You!

We challenge you to go, to attend, to cheer, to learn, to have fun!  New students kick off their first-year at UWRF with Falcon Challenges as a way to learn about campus activities, events and resources.

By visiting web sites, campus offices, and attending events you will be entered into a raffle drawing to win prizes each week.  Then at the end of each semester, there will be a grand prize drawing.  The more Falcon Challenges you complete the greater chances you have to win!

Falcon Challenges may be events, visits to campus offices, or web site searches.  Here are a few examples:

  • Attend Athletic events
  • Participate in WOW2 activities
  • Make an appointment with Career Services

Falcon Prizes may include:

  • Pizza Parties for you and your friends
  • Sideline seating at an athletic event
  • Intramural Team Registration Fee Waiver
