UW-River Falls

Land Grant Ties

For a general history about the land grant institution, read the Wisconsin Idea by Dr. Alan Trechter. [click here]

Students entering college have a history of service due in part to the increasing number of high schools adopting community service requirements. While the University of Wisconsin-River Falls does not have a service or service-learning requirement, some departments implicitly and explicitly do. UWRF has a rich history of connections to our local, state, national and international communities, predominantly located in co-curricular activites. As a land grant institution, UWRF has a myriad of projects connecting the University to the community through UW, and the state is home to the Wisconsin Idea.
