University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
UW-Eau Claire was founded in 1916 as the Eau Claire State Normal School, housed in a single building constructed on 12 acres of land. The institution evolved into a State Teachers College in 1927, the Wisconsin State College at Eau Claire in 1951 and attained university status in 1964. In 1971 the university, with other state-supported higher learning institutions, became a full partner in the new UW System and has continued to expand its mission of providing quality undergraduate programs in liberal arts and sciences, business, education, nursing, human sciences and services, and pre-professional programs.
Students enrolled in HNRS 302 "Tracking the University's Carbon Footprint" are well along in data gathering that will contribute to our campus's second greenhouse gas emissions inventory.
The campus Climate Action Plan is under development and expected to be done by mid-June.
I'll add more details soon!
