The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater had a student representative provide spoken testimony at a committee hearing on the state budget. They also held an on campus vaping presentation and invited their state representative to come and learn about the new tobacco trends. UW-Whitewater SPARK students continuously meet and discuss proposing a tobacco-free campus with their student government and campus leaders. It is important for elected officials, campus leadership and community leaders to know about this issue and how it impacts the people they represent. https://www.sparkwi.org/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-06
