I am putting together a list of the projects and objectives UW-F has worked on since its beginnings. I am sure I have missed a few. Please note, other groups may have also been involved, but these are items the UW-F Directors agreed on and we worked hard lobbying for. Some have been achieved *, others are in process, and others have a lot of work yet to do.
Please comment and add based on your experience. Thanks
