Fostering a connection between campus and community

This year, faculty at the Rock County campus and UW-Whitewater’s main campus collaborated on a grant proposal through the National Endowment for the Humanities. Our goal: to develop a new curriculum that focuses on freshwater research in southern Wisconsin and its effect on local communities. This past month, we were notified that we won the NEH grant. Over the next two years, we will be planning an ambitious set of courses that will combine the hard sciences with the humanities.
