Good morning, Fond du Lac.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Wisconsin is launching its Big Draft campaign—with help from Packers CEO Mark Murphy—to find 700 new mentors.

The effort aims to match over 100 youth waiting for a mentor and give community members a chance to support local kids.

Fond du Lac man Eric Perry was sentenced to 50 years in prison and 20 years of extended supervision after his December conviction for armed robbery and the fatal shooting of Benzel Rose during an October 17, 2021 incident—matching serial numbers and blood spatter linked him to the crime.

THELMA will host Perspectives 2025, an art show featuring 71 pieces by Wisconsin Visual Artists with an opening reception on March 29th from 1 to 3 p.m. The exhibition will run until May 9th and was selected by art experts to bring a competitive display to Fond du Lac.

Marian University announced that 252 full-time students made the Dean’s List and 124 earned a spot on the President’s List for the Fall 2024 semester.

Students qualified for the Dean’s List with a 3.5 GPA or higher while those on the President’s List achieved a 4.0 GPA — a sign of strong academic performance.

Senior Aaron Velasco of Marian University repeated as NACC Defensive Player of the Week after recording 22 digs and 16 kills in a five-set win over Illinois Tech—he will face Concordia Wisconsin tomorrow at 7 p.m. in NACC action.
