For aspiring educators, a new transfer agreement between Chippewa Valley Technical College and UW-Eau Claire is designed to make the journey to teaching licensure much clearer.

By creating a credit-for-credit transfer from CVTC’s foundations of teacher education associate degree program into UW-Eau Claire’s education studies program, the two institutions hope to remove unnecessary steps and time for students while strengthening the region’s educator workforce.

“Together, our institutions are building a stronger talent pipeline and helping ensure that schools throughout the region and state have the dedicated teachers they need for years to come,” says Dr. Carmen Manning, dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences.

For most people who enjoy the outdoors, it’s a time to enjoy the peace and quiet. For alum Jenny Anderson, it means sharing trips to the lake, camping experiences and weekend getaways with tens of thousands of people.

Anderson graduated in 2010 with a degree in broadcast journalism. Today, she is known to many by her social media moniker, Girl of 10,000 Lakes.

“There was no degree in Girl of 10,000 Lakes back then,” Anderson says. “There was no degree in being a content creator. But my experience at Eau Claire really prepared me for what I do today, because the storytelling is in everything that I do. So, while I didn’t exactly stick with broadcast journalism, a lot of those skill sets still transfer to what I do.”

“You don’t have to grow up with [the outdoors], and a lot of people don’t. My goal with Girl of 10,000 Lakes is to introduce people to the great outdoors, no matter their age, no matter their abilities.”

Thanks to support from the Katherine Schneider Disability Issues Fund, UWEC's biology department recently added a microscope with a digital screen display, making lab experiences more accessible for students with visual impairments. The screen display replaces the traditional eyepiece for viewing slides.

“Beyond the immediate benefit for students needing visual accommodations, this purchase can have widespread impact,” says Dr. Denton Kary, a lecturer in the biology department. “This instrument can easily be used by students in the subsequent anatomy and physiology course in the series and other courses as well. . . The screen can also be transferred to a large monitor so the whole class can have the same view during a discussion. It has many advantages for all students.”
