A home away from home
Anika Sardar traveled nearly 8,000 miles from her home in Bangladesh to explore educational opportunities in Stevens Point – from Pacelli Catholic High School to UWSP. In addition to discovering cheese curds, she also found her purpose for a competitive digital age.
A Very Merry Surprise
As the fall semester comes to a close, faculty and staff reflect on the students in their lives and the things that make UWSP so special for them. Little do they know a special gift for them during this holiday season awaits just around the corner.
Part of the change
It was never a question for graduate Kalli Mikkonen that she was going to help the planet. The real question was how and where she was going to make it happen.
Unsung hero
Mike Rader goes above and beyond in singlehandedly educating a new generation of conservation law enforcement professionals at UW-Stevens Point. Learn more about his work here.
Advocating for children
Candace Duran was looking for a career that would help her make positive changes within the stressed child welfare system and help children in need. At UWSP the social work and sociology major found a meaningful program in the new Child Advocacy Studies Certificate.
Supporting the Sentry School
A local couple, Jim and Madeleine Haine, are making a transformational impact with gifts to the Sentry School of Business and Economics, strengthening recruitment and opportunities for students. Recognizing their contributions, a new Sentry School space will be named in their honor.
A Contribution to history
Alumni Don and Judi Olson’s love for UW-Stevens Point led the couple to give a generous donation to the recently renamed Olson Museum of Natural History. Hear from them as they share the value they see the museum brings to the Stevens Point community and beyond.
