Tuesday, February 17, 2026 - 8:30am • Second Floor, Outside of the Student Affairs Office (238)

The Office of Student Affairs invites you to join us this coming Tuesday to partake in a regional tradition: Pączki! 

For those who may not know, pączki (POONCH-kee) are Polish deep-fried, filled doughnuts that are traditionally served on the eve of Lent. They are a local Milwaukee* treat, and we invite you to pick one up to kick off your (Fat) Tuesday.

Pączki will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. (or until they are all gone). Swing by the second floor on Tuesday to say hi to the Student Affairs team and pick up a pączki​!

Made by Grebe's Bakery, four filling varieties will be available:

• Custard
• Lemon
• Prune (we will have a limited number of these, for the traditionalists)
• Raspberry

*As Assistant Director DiStefano knowingly points out, pączki are also popular in other midwestern cities with large Polish immigrant populations, such as Detroit.
