Powerful Partnerships at UWEC
Campus and Community - Stronger Together
Together, we get more accomplished. From ongoing partnerships to project-specific collaborations, we are solving problems, conducting research and development, bringing forward innovative solutions, constructing buildings for community use, and creating pipelines between regional employers and our talented faculty and students. Successful collaborations often being with a casual conversation or questioning, “What if?”

The County Materials Complex will include a major event facility, a fieldhouse with a 100-yard field of artificial turf, a fitness facility, and a Mayo Clinic Health System clinical location.
What's next?
Because of the existing and lasting partnerships we have forged, UW-Eau Claire recently received a $9.4 million grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. through the agency’s Workforce Innovation Grant program.
By harnessing the strength of our broad network of partners and collaborators, this WEDC grant will help the university lead state-level innovation in creating in-demand undergraduate and graduate programs, all while strengthening the workforce for rural health and wellbeing.
