Looking ahead at UWSP at Marshfield
With a focus on new bachelor’s degree programs, retention, partnerships and engagement opportunities, UWSP at Marshfield has a lot to offer both students and community members.
Hiking through history
Schmeeckle Reserve at UW-Stevens Point is a vibrant living classroom, recreational area and home of natural habitats. Dive into the rich history of this natural area, spanning more than 46 years.
A time to reset
Stress in today’s society comes in all shapes and forms whether it be our mental health, focus, money, relationships and more. At UW-Stevens Point, a faculty member is helping others to learn from them and move forward in a positive light.
Aid in an emergency
When financial challenges arise unexpectedly, such as car repair, medical bills or loss of employment, UW-Stevens Point students can find help quickly through the university’s new Emergency Aid application, without disrupting their education.
Tack and Ascent
During a long, distinguished career that included stints as a researcher, health care manager, leader and teacher, Fritz Wenzel ’56 authored or coauthored numerous scientific papers, plus a couple of books for good measure. Were he so inclined, and maybe feeling a bit puckish, one suspects he could also just as easily write a volume titled “Lessons Learned From My Leisure Pursuits.” Featured prominently in that particular book would be chapters featuring two of his favorite activities: Sailing and mountain climbing.
Fostering Young Minds, Shaping Future Educators
The UW-Stevens Point Literacy Lab program is making a significant impact on the local community by empowering both young students and aspiring educators. This innovative program involves multiple cohorts of UWSP students traveling to local elementary schools to provide essential literacy instruction to elementary school students.
