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.
GeoPaths — a UW-Eau Claire outreach program — is introducing high school students from underrepresented populations to careers in the geosciences, a career path vital to solving a plethora of societal issues, including climate change and water scarcity.
A team of Blugolds created a digital exhibit that tells the story of a group of talented women who changed societal norms and gender expectations in the years following World War II.
UW-Eau Claire students, faculty and staff can now add their Blugold Card to Apple or Google Wallet and use their iPhones, Apple Watches or Android phones for contactless access to campus buildings and for campus transactions.
