Community Collaboration
The Public Health and Environmental Studies Department faculty and students actively work together with our partners in the community, including non-profits, businesses, foundations, and community groups. So whether you’re a current or future student at UW-Eau Claire, a current partner, or someone looking to connect with us, we hope you’ll contact us.
Here are some examples of the many and varied recent and ongoing partnerships that have yielded valuable results both to the community and to our students in learning experiences: these have happened because of direct faculty involvement in the community, through student internships, in class projects with students working to serve a client, to satisfy service learning requirements, and as part of faculty/student collaborative research.
