Public Forums Set for UW-Oshkosh Chancellor Finalists April 7-10

Montana Tech is positioned to play a crucial role in addressing the nation's increasing demand for critical minerals, as highlighted by National Science Foundation COO, Marrongelle, during her recent presentation. She emphasized the importance of partnerships with industry to tackle challenges posed by federal policies. Elsewhere, the University of Wisconsin System is actively seeking new leadership, with multiple campuses, including UW-Oshkosh, in the process of selecting chancellors amid significant challenges such as declining enrollment and financial instability. UW-Oshkosh will host public forums for community engagement as part of its chancellor selection process, following the resignation of Chancellor Andrew Leavitt. Additionally, finalists for the role at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have been announced, with discussions focusing on how to navigate challenges like funding cuts and enrollment declines. The outcomes of these leadership searches will be critical for the future directions of these institutions.
