The Power of Possible campaign

The campaign celebrates the centennial anniversary of UW-Eau Claire and supports the powerful fusion of people, programs and places that sustains this university’s tradition of excellence. The goal is to raise $60 million in support of people, programs and places at UW-Eau Claire by Dec. 31, 2016.

The Power of Possible campaign kickoff

Members of the Circle of Excellence gathered at the new W.R. Davies Student Center Sept. 27, 2012, to launch a fundraising campaign that will usher in a new century of excellence at the university. Led by JoAnne Brandes, of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation board of directors, and Interim Chancellor Gilles Bousquet, faculty, staff, alumni, donors and friends celebrated the scholarships and initiatives already creating life-changing opportunities for students, and committed themselves to the vision of making UW-Eau Claire the premier undergraduate learning community in the Upper Midwest.
