On July 1, University of Wisconsin Marathon County will become a campus of UW-Stevens Point, as part of a larger, UW System-wide realignment. While the restructuring will see the end of the 13-campus UW Colleges as a higher education institution, I believe it will bring educational benefits to Wausau and central Wisconsin for years to come. UW-Marshfield/Wood County also will be a part of this new three-campus partnership.
