INVEST IN THE FUTURE

DONATIONS FROM OUR PARTNERS ENABLE OUR LONG- TERM SUCCESS

One way for businesses to drive their company and industry forward is to make an investment in their future by investing in UW-Stout.

In recent years, three companies have committed to the long-term success of university academic programs with large donations that target specific areas:

• In the real estate property management program, Dean Weidner, owner of Weidner Apartment Homes, donated $1 million to establish the Weidner Center for Residential Property Management. • In the sciences, a major gift established the Rajiv and Swati Lall Microbiology Laboratory. The Lalls own Vets Plus, a global leader in developing, manufacturing and distributing food and companion animal health products and treats. • In the packaging program, Prent Corporation of Janesville donated $1 million, with half for new equipment in the Prent Packaging Laboratories and half to establish the Prent Packaging Equipment and Technology Fund.
