Community Engagement Quarterly Update

A letter from Lisa

A letter from Lisa

May 2025  

It was a celebration to remember: Chancellor James Beeby was inaugurated as the 11^th leader of UW-La Crosse during a campus and community-wide event, ushering in a new era for the university.

Over the past 10 months, Chancellor Beeby has focused on listening and learning from faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members to strengthen academic excellence, support workforce development and enhance community engagement. In the 7 Rivers Region alone, Dr. Beeby has met with approximately 80 different business, nonprofit and civic leaders — a number that continues to grow. These meetings provide valuable opportunities for the chancellor and community leaders to listen, learn and build meaningful connections.

The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents believes it found ‘The right leader at the right time,’ and the UWL community looks forward to continued collaboration with the Greater La Crosse Area.

In partnership,

Lisa
