Send your student a support box!

The Residence Housing Association, RHA, does support boxes three times a year.  Welcome packages, which are sponsored through On-Campus Marketing, are delivered to the student on their first day of classes.  During fall and spring semester finals week, the students' parents may purchase care packages that include items such as popcorn, ramen noodles, granola bars, and hot chocolate.  Parents can also write a short note of encouragement to their son or daughter to show their support!

Support boxes cost approximately $10.00.

How can I send someone a support box?

Letters are sent to parents during the summer for Welcome packages, and during the fall and spring semesters for finals week support boxes.

If you have any questions, please contact the Winona State University RHA office at 507.457.5584 or RHA@winona.edu
