UW System Board of Regents Meeting at UW-Parkside
On behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Parside learning community, we look forward to the UW System Board of Regents visit to our campus October 3, 4 and 5. I include Wednesday, October 3, because we have an interesting event that evening, showcasing the new UW-Parkside Digital Design and Fabrication Lab. I hope you will make plans to join us.
The University of Wisconsin‐Parkside, now more than ever, is positioned to have a dynamic impact on the lives of our students, members of our communities, and the future of southeastern Wisconsin.
During the October Board of Regents meeting, you will learn more about how the University has grown during the past 50 years, and why we are ready for the exciting decades to come.
We look forward to sharing our progress and our 50 Years Celebration with the Board of Regents in October.
Go Rangers!
Debbie Ford
