Staff award accepting nominations
The UW-Eau Claire Foundation will present $1,500 to the recipient of the Excellence in Performance Award to be given in the fall semester of 2009. The Classified Staff Awards Committee is now inviting nominations for the award. Faculty, staff or students may nominate a permanent, full-time or part-time staff member of the classified staff for the award. Nominations should be forwarded by April 20 to the committee in the Chancellor's Office, Schofield 204.
UW-Eau Claire to offer ROTC program
UW-Eau Claire's Continuing Education program will offer ROTC classes next year. If the program is approved it will become a series of courses offered through the College of Business.
The program will work alongside the College of Business' Center for Leadership and the ROTC office will be in Schneider Hall.
ROTC currently has programs in western Wisconsin at UW-Stout and UW-River Falls. Eighty students are enrolled in the program at those campuses.
Students enrolled in the Eau Claire program will take one ROTC course per semester during their four years. A typical class will have two to eight cadets.
Fifteen Eau Claire students now are enrolled in ROTC at Stout.
The program will be offered to anyone regardless of major. Students can take classes as participating students or even auditors. There are, however, prerequisites to the program.
ROTC class credits count towards the university's credit requirement but will not count toward any specific degree requirement.
The classes are taught by military faculty members and not university employees.
For more information about the ROTC's partnership with Eau Claire contact Marty Wood, Interim Provost, at 715-836-2320 or mwood@uwec.edu.
Campus supports local sustainability
UW-Eau Claire faculty, staff and students will join Eau Claire community members in a series of workshops during the fall of 2009 to talk about the importance of sustainability to the city's future.
These people will share their expertise and ideas with community members and develop a chapter on sustainability with city of Eau Claire planners to add to the city's comprehensive plan.
An Eau Claire Planning Commission public hearing on the draft of the sustainability chapter is set for 7 p.m. April 6 in the Council Chamber at Eau Claire City Hall.
