UW-Oshkosh Alumni

It was a wonderful night to bring alumni and friends to campus!

Yesterday was National Intern Day!

Internships can be the first step toward an exciting career, helping students gain real-world experience, build professional connections, and discover what they're passionate about.

We want to hear from our fellow Titans!

What was your very first internship?
Did it turn into a full-time job, lead you to a different career path, or teach you something valuable that still impacts you today?

Today is National Hire A Veteran Day!

We’re celebrating our UWO alumni Veterans as well as the employers that recognize the value our veterans bring to the workforce.

UW-Oshkosh alumnus Dr. Paul F. Trilling, Class of ‘87 and recent addition to our Alumni Board of Directors, believes his military experience helped him immensely in his career in education. After graduating from UWO with majors in Criminal Justice and Political Science, Trilling served four years on active duty in the U.S. Army, followed by another four years in the Wisconsin National Guard.

His leadership in military service, especially his time as an infantry squad leader during combat in the Gulf War, led him down an unlikely path into the world of education, where Trilling has worn many hats over the past three decades at the elementary level, the university level after earning his PhD, and at the State Department of Education level.

As a veteran, Trilling’s military experience influences how he leads people, thinks on his feet and serves others as an educator.

Trilling says “one of the greatest outcomes of serving in the military was the endless leadership opportunities,” a natural parallel between leadership in his military career and after it.

UW-Oshkosh honors our veterans and values the impact of combining a college education with military service.

Calling all UWO alum veterans: which military branch did you serve in? Share with us below!👇
Thank you for your service!

It’s that time! This year’s EAA AirVenture fly-in is officially starting! ✈️

The EAA AirVenture Air Show has been an important Oshkosh staple for over 73 years. It is known as the World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration, hosting aviation enthusiasts from over 80 countries, and has an array of crowd-thrilling daily air shows, aerobatics, and pyrotechnics.

If you are a UWO alum who will be in the area attending this year’s EAA event, stop by the front desk of the Culver Family Welcome Center on campus for some alumni swag! ⚡

Have a great time everyone!! Enjoy the show! 💫

PS: We’d love to hear your stories or photos from EAA— either this year or in the past!
