Excellence - Uw - Clear Water

((Announcer)) Sitting on the banks of the scenic Chippewa River, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is known both for its and its academic excellence. As the UW System Center of Excellence for Undergraduate Student Research, Eau Claire students work side by side with nationally recognized faculty. Dr. Liz Golgowski/Materials Science Center: We're working together to figure out problems that nobody has ever solved before. Tayo Sanders/sophomore: I'm going to have four years of experience on instruments you normally only get to use in graduate school. The best part about it is being able to take what you learn in a class and apply it right away to a real life situation. Dr. Liz Glogowski: Without the students, this would not be possible. ((announcer)) UW-Eau Claire is home to Five Dreyfus Award winning professors. Only one other chemistry department in the nation can match that. We are consistently ranked among the top five regional public universities in the Midwest by U.S. News and World Report. We've been named a best Midwestern college by The Princeton Review and one of the best colleges for quality and value in the United States, by Kiplinger's magazine. And our reputation extends to the world as well: We are a top producer of Fulbright fellows. UW-Eau Claire is in the top ten nationally for the number of students who study abroad. And our alumni Justin Vernon and Sean Carey perform to sold-out concerts world-wide with Grammy award winning Bon Iver. The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Excellence: our measure, our motto, our goal.
