Hey Blue Devil softball fans!
My name is Chloe Greeder. I am a freshman this year at UW-Stout Polytechnic, and I am majoring in Plastics and Mechanical Engineering.
In class these last few weeks, I have been researching ways to improve the waste management system in three small communities in Peru for my ETECH 100 course. Our focus is to design a process rather than a specific mechanism for the communities so it can provide jobs, encourage a greater sense of community, and improve their current waste management system.
Soon, my group members and I will build a model of a waste management process that collects, washes, sorts, and reuses recyclable waste for the communities.
Thanks for taking the time to read about how classes are going here at Stout!
Hey Blue Devils,
My name is Bren Holzhueter, and I am a freshman, too!
I will be talking a little bit about how softball has been going for the Blue Devils! Last week, our team worked really hard and absolutely balled out at our fall games. After a busy week of competing, we had a week off, which gave us a chance to relax and recover.
During my week off, I worked ahead in my classes so I could have a smooth transition back into school and softball. I also spent time hanging out with my teammates and having fun! One of the upperclassmen invited some of the freshmen over for dinner after our Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting, and we watched the Brewers game together.
On Sunday afternoon, I met my mom for lunch in Stillwater, Minnesota, where we got some gluten-free pizza, which was amazing. I also did some shopping in Eau Claire with one of my teammates and made sure to get plenty of sleep and focus on recovery after our busy week.
Although the week off was nice, I am excited to get back on the field with my teammates and keep working hard as we continue to give it our all and prepare for the spring!
Thanks for reading about the life of a Blue Devil!
Roll Devs!!
