“UWEC-BC Celebrates 60 Years!” will commemorate the milestone with an esteemed panel of Dr. Paul Chase, former dean; Mary Hoeft, professor emeritus; Terry Wiesner, retired lecturer; and Dr. Troy Kozma, current academic chair and professor of philosophy and religious studies. The presentation will begin at 12:30 p.m. in the Blue Hills Lecture Hall inside Ritzinger Hall and will also stream on ricelaketv.com.

After the lecture, the public is invited to attend the “Celebrating 60 Years Social” in the Meggers Hall Commons. Chase and Dr. Dean Yohnk, another former dean, will reflect on their time on campus while Dr. Abbey Fischer, campus director, will discuss 91���� – Barron County’s goals to remain relevant and impactful in the future.

“I hope they enjoy celebrating the past and remembering stories that need to be shared,” Fischer says. “But I’m also looking forward to talking with them about their hopes and dreams for the campus for the next 60 years.”

Cake, coffee and lemonade will be served. Former students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend the social to connect with friends, new and old.
