How does it work? You design a customized Galentine’s Day card for your campus Galentine and UWC will deliver it February 12 and 13. The UWC Board are pleased to offer this no cost as a Valentine’s treat to UWC members.
Yes! Sign me up!: UWC has 4 designs members can select from and customize the greeting, message and salutation for up to 3 cards. Galentine’s cards can go to anyone on Main Campus or Health Science Campus.
