UW-Stout will be celebrating the university and Menomonie community with several events, including an official welcome of Katherine P. Frank as the 8th Chancellor.
A special thanks to the university committee that helped to create themes and suggest programming intended to engage and showcase our university and surrounding community. The committee did an outstanding job considering events that are typically spread across the academic year and creating a schedule that allows for both the university and our extended community to come together to learn, work, and celebrate.
