"I enjoyed the education I received at UWSP, but it doesn't compare with the countless relationships I have formed in the last four years! My time here has allowed me not only to grow as a learner, but also to become a better person through the friendship and appreciation from countless friends, professors, staff, and employers. College is more than just studying and getting a degree - it gives you a chance to mature with some very amazing, unique people."

University of Wisconsin STEVENS POINT

On September 17, 1894, Stevens Point Normal School opened its doors to 13 faculty members and its first class of 300 students. Today, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is a leading comprehensive university serving more than 8, 700 students with 95 undergraduate and 16 graduate programs.

UWSP is a 435-acre campus that includes 13 major academic and administrative buildings , 14 residence halls , three residence centers and Schmeeckle Reserve, a 275-acre nature preserve with a 24-acre lake adjacent to campus. Students choose from 48 majors and 75 minors, and learn from more than 400 faculty members. The student-to-faculty ratio is about 20 to one. Over 180 extracurricular student organizations are also a part of the UWSP learning experience.

Everything - the majors and minors offered by four colleges , the co­curricular and campus activities, the innovative classroom technology and field internship choices, the international opportunities and residential living experiences - has been designed with students and their futures in mind. UWSP's student-centered approach to learning provides students with a transformational experience that helps them prepare a strong foundation for the future , develop relationships that are central to their lives and discover themselves in the process .

UW-Stevens Point ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Alumni Association welcomes our Winter 2004 graduates to the ranks of UWSP alumni. To honor this occasion, members of the Future Alumni Association will present each new alumnus with the gift of a UWSP key chain. We hope this will serve as a reminder that, no matter where life may lead our graduates, they will always have a home at UWSP.

. The Alumni Association serves to strengthen the ties between 62,000 \Pointer alumni and their university home. Our alumni are among this hniversity's most important assets and collectively constitute a major force in shaping the reputation of our campus.

The association seeks to help alumni stay in touch with former classmates and friends who have graduated from UWSP to make their mark, professionally and personally, on the nation and the world. The association also provides a variety of services to alumni and friends of UWSP, including the Pointer Alumnus newspaper, alumni reunions, homecoming, alumni travel, alumni directories and other special events.

All graduates and anyone who has attended UWSP are automatic, lifetime members of the non-dues paying association. Support for the Alumni Association is provided in part by the UWSP Foundation, by proceeds from an alumni endowment and by gifts from alumni and friends.

All of our alumni share memories of their years at UWSP, and they in turn have contributed to the success of the campus. The Alumni Association urges you to continue to think of yourself as a vital participant in the future of your alma mater and always welcomes your support, involvement and ideas.

Those interested in learning more about the UWSP Alumni Association and its Board of Directors are encouraged to contact the Alumni Association Office at (715) 346-3811 or (877) 764-6801, or by e-mail at alumni@uwsp.edu. The UWSP Alumni Association Web site can be accessed at www.uwsp.edu/alumni/.

The PURPLE AND THE GOLD

Original song written by Kenneth Pray Verse one written by James Arrowood

Alma Mater, our Wisconsin, dear Stevens Point we toast Recalling former times of challenge and repose

On the banks of old Wisconsin, alumni glories told We off er our allegiance

To the Purple and the Gold!

Other schools of valor boast of victories galore Of laurels never lost, of triumphs by the score

Let them tell you of their prowess, of warriors strong and bold But their colors ever lower

To the Purple and the Gold!
