am honored and grateful to report that we have had another successful year of alumni and friends giving back to our remarkable university. This ongoing success could not have been accomplished without the generous support and continued passion of those who believe in UW-Stout. With the dramatic changes we face in public higher education, Chancellor Meyer has set forth a vision for a more proactive development and engagement model for UW-Stout. In response to this vision, we have diligently worked to grow our team, expand our major gifts program and create more opportunities for you to give your time, talent or financial resources to continue building a brighter future for our campus.

None of these important efforts could have been achieved without the strong volunteer support from the Stout University Foundation and the Stout Alumni Association’s Boards of Directors. At this time, I would like to extend my most sincere personal appreciation to our Board members and leaders who have made an enormous difference through their sacrificial investments in the university during this past year. Once again, thank you! Your generosity will enable UW-Stout students to experience an educational environment in which they can learn, develop their talents, discover their dreams and then go out and achieve great things!
