Community and Professional Collaborations

Within our department, Blugolds get the opportunity to learn while gaining direct experience with community organizations. Each year, Blugolds take what they’re learning in the classroom and use that knowledge to develop campaigns and communication plans. Those plans are later implemented in the Eau Claire community and beyond — providing unmatched, real-world experience for Blugolds.
