Remember the movie "Pay It Forward" starring Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment?  Pay it forward was a concept that took the country by storm. Osment played Trevor McKinney, a little boy who performed good deeds to help others.  When asked what they could do for him, he said, "Pay it forward."

   Today, we are asking you to Pay it forward and join thousands of UW-L alumni who have joined the Alumni Association from across the country and around the world.  The education you received at UW-L has helped you become the person you are today.  Now we need your help, to Pay it forward, and support UW-La Crosse.
