We're proud to have the most beautiful campus in Wisconsin right in our backyard. UW-Eau Claire adds a certain spunk to the city. A town full of college kids means amazing, fresh ideas, a constant flow of people, a thriving nightlife and always have new and fun ideas and events. UW-Eau Claire and all of the Blugolds have helped shape Eau Claire.

UW-Eau Claire Bucket List

See the blugold marching band  .

UW-Eau Claire is known for the BMB. People come from far and wide just to see them perform at halftime and at other events around the city. Not only is the music amazing, their performance skills are sure to leave you with a smile on your face. With over 400 members in the band alone, you will never forget seeing such a huge amount of Blugolds come together and celebrate. There's no way you can become a Blugold with experiencing this. 

Watch a live performance at The Cabin

UW-Eau Claire is home to many talented groups. That includes bands, improv groups, comedians and poets, and you can watch them all perform at The Cabin right on campus. This venue is the ideal hang out place because people of all ages are welcome. If you're 21+, you're welcome to enjoy a beer, but also anyone underage can hang out and have some coffee as well. Embrace all the talent UW-Eau Claire has to offer. 

Climb the hill

Oh, the dreaded hill. What a love-hate relationship students have with it. Climbing the hill is truly a right of passage for UW-Eau Claire students, especially you freshmen. You'll probably be short of breath by the end, but you are sure to have a sense of accomplishment. It may get better by the end of the year... Maybe.

Enjoy the fall views from the stairs behind Davies 

Skip the hill and take the stairs to upper campus; you'll especially enjoy these views in the fall when all of the trees are beginning to change colors. This view is sure to take your breath away and make you proud to be a Blugold. We truly have the most beautiful campus. 

Sit by the fire pit on Garfield Ave.

All of the construction sure was worth it. Go hang out and enjoy the view of the river by a nice, warm fire set up on Garfield Ave. This new addition to campus sure is beautiful; I mean, who can resist some string lights and a nice, enticing fire? 

Get a picture with Blu

If you go to any UW-Eau Claire event, or even if you're just walking around campus, you're sure to see the beloved mascot Blu. Blu loves to get into trouble and is truly a master at taking selfies, so make sure to take advantage of the photo-op and make all of your friends at home jealous of your awesome college experience. 

Hang out on upper campus 

In the warm months, don't forget to take advantage of the volleyball courts and plenty of open fields on upper campus. Whether you're looking for a nice, relaxing day doing homework outside in a field, want to play a game of frisbee or catch or are feeling a friendly game of volleyball – all of this and more is happening on upper campus. There is truly no community like UW-Eau Claire's. You'll feel like you're in a movie while you're enjoying your time here.

Support the Blugold athletes 

Support your peers at a Blugold athletic event ! Bundle up at a hockey game, check out a basketball tournament, cheer on the volleyball team or watch a swimming meet. There are so many ways to support the Blugold community, and this is simply a fun one!

The future of some UW campuses is at risk without major changes, new financial reports show

Newly released reports raise questions about the financial viability of Wisconsin's public universities and signal additional cuts coming to some campuses in future years.

The University of Wisconsin System paid outside firm Deloitte $2.8 million to assess the financial health of its individual campuses. The reports released this week underscore the difficult financial forces facing most UW campuses and their unsustainable reliance on reserves to cover year after year of budget deficits.

None of the reports raised the possibility of consolidation or closure. UW System President Jay Rothman said he isn't entertaining the idea of closing any four-year campus. The struggle for chancellors is finding a path to remain financially sustainable while enrollment declines, concerns about college affordability grow and state funding in the most recent budget remained flat.

"I'm confident that all of our universities can get there," Rothman said. "The question is, what is the depth of those cuts going to have to be, because we have a responsibility on the expense side of the ledger to run as efficiently as we possibly can be. But in terms of having additional state support so that we can invest in things that are going to be important for our state going forward, I think that's what the balance is."

The nonpartisan Wisconsin Policy Forum found Wisconsin's four-year university system ranked 43rd in the country in per-pupil funding . Rothman said it would take an additional $440 million annually to move to the median level of funding nationally.

"Ultimately, it is up to the state to decide whether it wants and can afford a weakened (UW System)," Rothman said. "The adage is that you get what you pay for."

Here's what the campus reports show:

Deloitte painted a dire picture for UW-Oshkosh, saying "without significant and immediate change ... the future of the institution is at risk."

The report called UW-Oshkosh leaders "responsive and decisive" when faced with a $15 million deficit at the beginning of this school year. Hundreds of painful layoffs and early retirements whittled the deficit to $3 million, which the report said has "substantially changed the trajectory of its financial situation."

Even so, the report said overcoming the ongoing deficit will be "challenging."

UW-Oshkosh is at "a critical moment in its history" and must "chart a course back to financial sustainability before the remaining resources are fully depleted." The report called for a "fresh approach" to student recruitment and retention, and adoption of a new academic organization plan that will reduce administrative costs.

UW-Green Bay

Deloitte implored UW-Green Bay leaders to "act with urgency."

The report said UW-Green Bay needs to "right-size" its operations. If the university continues operating at its current rate, Deloitte projected UW-Green Bay spending down all of its reserves and being unable to support itself by 2027.

UW-Green Bay Chancellor Michael Alexander pushed back on the report, saying it took the university's worst financial year in the past six to make future projections and didn't take into account the revenue earned from one of its divisions. He said UW-Green Bay purposely spent down some of its reserves and is on target to close its deficit by the end of next school year. Undergraduate enrollment has held steady, despite demographic trends.

Deloitte's report was a "snapshot" from last fall and more current data presents an optimistic outlook for UW-Green Bay, Alexander said.

UW-Parkside

Declining enrollment and rising expenses are the key drivers to UW-Parkside's deficit. The university has cut 50 jobs, or nearly 10% of its workforce .

Assuming current trends continue, Deloitte forecasts the university's reserves will be fully depleted by the end of next school year and the campus will need UW System's support to remain operational.

UW-Parkside should "seek to re-align operations." The report suggested increasing enrollment and improving retention.

UW-Platteville 

UW-Platteville's report included the same ominous line as UW-Oshkosh: "Without significant and immediate change, the future of the institution is at risk."

The university has less than a year of reserves left and needs to "immediately right-size," Deloitte said. The report asked what size UW-Platteville should be in the future.

UW-Platteville is already shrinking its workforce by eliminating 111 positions , a move Deloitte said showed the university's willingness to tackle challenges. Its student retention rates are another strength.

Some university units operate in a way to protect their own budget. The report encouraged approaching challenges as a single institution instead of siloed departments.

UW-River Falls

UW-River Falls is "on a trajectory of financial unsustainability" and needs to "right-size," the report said. The university should identify $7 million to $9 million though a combination of revenue-generation actions and cost-savings decisions soon.

Among the challenges cited in the report were a "perceived disconnect" between administration and academic units about the university's financial reality. In addition, "key tools such as enrollment projections and long-range plans do not yet exist" though leaders are working to build out infrastructure.

To save money, UW-River Falls has merged two of its colleges and initiated a hiring freeze. It will look to enroll more students in existing class sections.

UW-Superior

Declining undergraduate enrollment, low retention and financial instability at UW-Superior "threaten its future," the report said.

Deloitte's model projects the university will deplete its reserves within five years without any changes to existing operations. The report said it was "critical" that leaders evaluate how to grow revenue and cut costs.

UW-Whitewater

UW-Whitewater is in a "critical moment." At its current rate and without changes, the university will deplete its reserves by 2028.

Getting onto a path of financial sustainability will require "bold strategies." The report suggested boosting student retention. Bringing the rate back to pre-pandemic levels could generate up to $2.6 million annually.

The report also called for equipping the university with better financial tools to identify and resolve long-term financial problems.

What about other universities?

Reports on the remaining universities — UW-Milwaukee, UW-La Crosse, UW-Eau Claire, UW-Stevens Point and UW-Stout — will be released later this year. UW-Madison was not part of the review.

UW-Eau Claire expands speech therapy and audiology service options for community

Students make their way across the walking bridge over the Chippewa River and connecting lower campus on a warm Fall morning. (Students make their way across the walking bridge over the Chippewa River and connecting lower campus on a warm Fall morning

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire’s Center for Communication Disorders (CCD) is expanding its speech-language health care service options to respond to community needs after the announcement that multiple clinics and hospitals are closing in the Chippewa Valley.

HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire and HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital in Chippewa Falls will close along with several Prevea Health clinics in the region in March and April, reducing the available speech therapy and audiology services.

“With the HSHS and Prevea closure, we, at the CCD, have experienced an increase in the number of people from the Chippewa Valley inquiring about and accessing our speech and language services,” says Lindsay Pohlen, CCD director. “This has provided our student clinicians with the opportunity to earn clinical hours and has diversified their clinical experience. The Center for Communication Disorders is grateful to be able to serve those in our community.”

The campus-based  CCD  provides speech-language pathology services across all age ranges, from early childhood through late adulthood. All services are free and provided by undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing degrees in speech-language pathology, audiology or other similar professions.

Services are supervised by UW-Eau Claire faculty members who are licensed speech-language pathologists (SLPs) with expertise in all service-delivery areas. The CCD provides individual and group services both in person and via telehealth.

“While the CCD currently maintains a waiting list for individual services, existing groups have the capability to incorporate additional clients,” Pohlen says. “We are striving to balance the needs of our students and the health care and service needs of the community.”

UW-Eau Claire’s Communication Sciences and Disorders program also is preparing additional professionals to address the community’s long-term speech therapy and audiology service needs.

The program offers a variety of options for students to earn a degree, both at the bachelor’s and master’s levels. A master’s degree is needed to practice as a SLP, but individuals can practice as a speech-language pathology assistant (SLPA) under the supervision of an SLP in a variety of service delivery settings. Both SLPs and SLPAs are needed across the region and state to fill numerous open positions, and especially to start new private-practice clinics to meet the growing need for services.

The department offers both an on-campus and online master’s degree. As part of this program, students gain academic and clinical experience with individuals of all ages, eventually leading to licensure as an SLP. Graduate students in the online program complete their clinical training in sites within their home community. Graduate students in the on-campus program complete their clinical training by providing services both within the CCD on campus, but also in conjunction with community SLPs throughout the Chippewa Valley.

 Partnerships with regional SLPs in schools, hospitals, nursing homes and outpatient clinics are critical for training the next generation of SLPs.

“Closures of these regional health care partners have negatively impacted this training program, in addition to reducing the health care options for people throughout the region,” says Laura Prince, CSD external placement coordinator. “We are grateful to other regional partners who have stepped in to assist students in finishing their clinical training.”

For those seeking a bachelor’s degree, the traditional on-campus program is recognized throughout the region for high-quality education. Recently, a new certificate was added, allowing CSD students to complete the training required to become an SLPA. Starting in fall 2024, students can complete the entire bachelor’s degree, including the SLPA certificate, in a fully online format.

“We hope that adding a fully online option will allow prospective students throughout our region, and across Wisconsin, to get access to this training program without having to uproot their entire life to move to Eau Claire,” says Dr. Abby Hemmerich, CSD department chair.

The additional SLPA option is made possible thanks to the $9.4 million Workforce Innovation Grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. UW-Eau Claire’s multiyear award focuses on strengthening the regional workforce with new health-related career options and programming.

“The CSD program has effectively leveraged the resources of the WEDC Workforce Innovation Grant to serve the health care needs of northwest Wisconsin and beyond,” says Dr. Carmen Manning, dean of the College of Education and Human Sciences and co-primary investigator for the WEDC grant.

UW-Eau Claire’s CultureFest to feature multiple live performances

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) -Live performances, diverse cuisines, and demonstrations will take the spotlight on Sunday for an annual celebration of groups that highlight different cultures.

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire’s annual event, CultureFest will be back at the Davies Center from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 1. Around 20 community and university groups will share their cultures through food, music, and more. CultureFest intern, Ali Branca, said the event will feature five live performances.

“Most of them are like dance performances,” Branca said. “The main one from this year which we are really excited about is a group from Minnesota they are doing a Lion Dance. “So, they are coming all the way from Minnesota, so it’s really exciting, and their performance is really interactive.”

The event is free to attend, but food and cultural items will be available for purchase. The event schedule will be available in the Davies Center on Sunday.

Branca said volunteers will also collect food and hygiene products for the Campus Harvest Food Pantry for those who can donate.
