UW-La Crosse Graduation 2012
The real reason for the visit to the state was for
the 2012 UWL-L graduation.
Congratulations Leroy! I am very
proud of this great accomplishment!
“The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse was founded
in 1909 as the La Crosse Normal School. Today, it is one of the 13
four-year campuses in the University of Wisconsin System. Originally
known for its nationally recognized physical education program, UW-La Crosse
now offers 85 undergraduate programs in 30 disciplines, and 21 graduate
programs and emphases in eight disciplines.”
“The compact 119-acre campus located in a residential
section of La Crosse provides a vibrant place to live and learn.
Enrollment has grown from 176 when the doors opened to more than 9,000.
Statewide, freshman credentials are second only to UW-Madison, and showed the
most improvement in ACT scores and class rank during the past decade, according
to the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance. The campus embraces diversity, a
commitment that has increased minority and international students, faculty and
staff. Students take part in an array of organizations and community
service. Intercollegiate teams compete in 19 sports and have produced 21
national championships since 1990.”
“The university offers much to the region - cultural
events, regional and national conferences, prominent speakers, applied
research, professionals with varying expertise, a large workforce, and numerous
faculty, staff and student community volunteers. UW-La Crosse works
cooperatively with the city's other higher education institutions and area
elementary and secondary schools. Also, the university led development of
a consortium among the city's higher education institutions and major health
care organizations to bring cutting-edge health care to the region, along with
a state-of-the-art health research and education facility.”
“For more than 90 years UW-La Crosse has been the
prominent intellectual engine that educates a high quality workforce for the region.
The university remains proud of its regional heritage and looks forward to
retaining its prominence in the area's economic vitality.”
