Bring out your competitive side

Each year, UW-Eau Claire management and leadership students compete in regional and national competitions to sharpen their skills in presenting, negotiating, demonstrating, and problem-solving. These competitions include the following:

  • Human Resource Management: Wisconsin SHRM Student Conference and HR Games Competition
  • Strategic Management: UW-Eau Claire Sim Super Bowl.

UW-Eau Claire student competitors are a force to be reckoned with as they compete against -- and beat -- teams from some of the best universities at events held in Wisconsin and around the country.

Invest in your future 

The UW-Eau Claire Foundation and private sources offer scholarships to students based on academic standing, involvement in other activities, citizenship, area of study, and need.
