Dr. Ryan Weichelt
Dr. Ryan Weichelt, associate professor of geography and anthropology, will serve as interim director of the First Year Experience Program during the 2017-18 academic year.
Weichelt brings extensive experience as an FYE instructor and member of the FYE advisory board. The FYE program is designed to improve retention by connecting students with campus services, assisting in the transition to college life and integrating students into the Blugold community.
UW-Eau Claire student researchers examined what other researchers were doing and how successful they were in creating models to solve problems related to COVID-19, along with examining the limitations and difficulties they experienced.
Blugolds Bryanna Rayhorn and Lindsey Henricks spent their summer living and working on a mountain range above the Arctic Circle, an area so remote that they had to take a helicopter to work each day.
In its report released today, U.S. News & World Report ranks UW-Eau Claire first among public regional universities in Wisconsin, seventh among public schools in the Midwest and in the top two of public regional universities in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
