We know that you have many unanswered questions. Check out the New Faculty/Staff Survival Guide. We hope it will address your most immediate concerns.

We have also put together a Faculty and Staff Information Manual with more extensive information about our institution and the surrounding area; things that you may not need right now. Hopefully it will be helpful to you as you establish your career and life in Eau Claire.

If at any time you need more information, please feel free to contact Academic Affairs as listed below. Again, welcome to our community!
