We project only the best, from classics and cult favorites to contemporary award winners.

Commencement

Commencement is one of the major ceremonial events in the life of a university, and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is known for its dignified, family-oriented ceremonies.

Community Action and Lifelong Learning

The CALL program connects UW-Eau Claire students with volunteer service opportunities in the community. The mission of the program is twofold: helping students learn through community service, and helping community organizations find talented, educated volunteers.

The Forum

The 70th season of this prestigious lecture series includes presentations on creating a sustainable future; helping those who suffer from depression find hope; transforming communities through vocational training and the arts; seeing current affairs with an international perspective; understanding the mysteries of the human brain; and finding political expression in the arena of sports.

Higherground

It's a lounge — with computers and TVs, video games, billiards, ping-pong and foosball, board games, tables and chairs, and comfy couches. It's a restaurant — featuring chicken tenders, popcorn shrimp, mini corn dogs, onion rings, fries, cheddar nuggets, pizzas, floats, shakes and free popcorn. And it's a student-run nightclub — with DJ showcases, live bands, and a beat so good your body can't ignore it.

International Film Society

Since 1956 the UW-Eau Claire International Film Society has represented a wide variety of countries, cinematic styles, directorial methods, genres and points of view in films that foster a better understanding of other peoples and cultures, and instill a lifelong appreciation for the art of film.

Summer Events
