The Home Economics Centennial Endowment fund was created to forge bonds with distinguished professionals who will work with our students and faculty to face new challenges. Through the endowment we have made in possible for some of the best professionals in the world to form in-depth relationships with our students and faculty in family and consumer education, dietetics, and interior architecture. These special relationships enrich our students, expand our curricula, and spotlight our home economics history.
A special giving tree plaque recognizes major donors to the Home Economics Centennial Endowment
in at Leadership Giving levels of Founder ($100,000+),
Benefactor ($50,000+),
Sponsor ($25,000+)
and Partner ($10,000+).
A Centennial Garden, located outside the southeast corner of the College of Professional Studies
Building, commemorates the celebration of the Centennial of Home Economics. The garden serves as a
lasting tribute to the 100-year heritage of home economics at UWSP.
The garden includes perennial flowers and grasses, a walking path and seating areas. The path is
made of paving bricks engraved with the names of major donors to the Centennial Endowment Fund.
Several paving bricks are still available for your honor, memorial or milestone gift.
