Government and business leaders in Dubuque, Iowa, are honoring UW-Platteville as part of their annual Community of Colleges Week next month.

The City Council and the Greater Dubuque Development Corp. issued a proclamation during a meeting July 20 declaring Aug. 3-7 as Community of Colleges Week. The proclamation expressed appreciation for 10 institutions in southwestern Wisconsin and northeastern Iowa, including UW-Platteville and Southwest Wisconsin Technical College.
