Celebrating Our Diversity
Building a stronger campus
At UW-Eau Claire we make a point to celebrate and acknowledge diverse populations throughout the year. With events designed to educate campus and honor the histories, struggles, accomplishments and of people from a range of marginalized populations. We understand that it is our differences that can make us a stronger campus, and continual efforts to make sure all Blugold students, faculty and staff feel validated and valued is a priority here.
