She currently resides in London.  UW-Fond du Lac is one of five universities collaborating to bring Schloss to the area.  “Hearing first-hand experiences from Eva Schloss will be nothing less than the opportunity of a lifetime,” said UW-Fond du Lac Dean and CEO John Short. “We are delighted that she has chosen UW-Fond du Lac as one of the campuses for her visit to Wisconsin.”  The UW-Fond du Lac student Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee (SUFAC) and the Fine Arts and Lecture Committee are sponsoring this presentation.
