College of Business students have worked with faculty the past year on a wide variety of presentations and research projects. They will present the the results of their hard work at the 2018 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Celebration of Excellence in Research and Creative Activity (CERCA), April 30-May 4. We invite you to stop by Davies Center to listen to students discuss their research.
