Once a Pioneer, Always a Pioneer
Through the support of Pioneers near and far, UW-Platteville works hard to advance our community, drive innovation, and transform lives. We have a network of over 60,000 proud alumni living in all 50 states and worldwide, but you don’t have to be a graduate to be a part of our proud tradition of excellence—we collaborate with companies and individual donors throughout the world in an effort to positively impact communities large and small.
As a friend of the university, you’ll have the opportunity to connect, share, and celebrate throughout the year—on campus and across the country! Whether it’s through events like golf outings and networking dinners, following us on social media or donations of your money, time, and talent, you’ll find plenty of ways to showcase your Pioneer Spirit.
