Alumni Testimonials


Meet a few of the many successful UWMC alumni:

Marv Schuette (UWMC Alumnus 1948-1950) President, Wausau Homes Inc.

"UWMC was the wake-up call and the stepping stone to the Madison Campus, where the scholastic challenges for me became opportunities.  The big arena and social interactions gave me the confidence and determination to be effective in the business world."


Lee Miskowski (UWMC Alumnus 1949-1951 ) Retired Vice President, Ford Motor Company - General Manger, Lincoln-Mercury Division

"The University of Wisconsin-Marathon County gave me the opportunity of a lifetime.  It was a great launching pad of not only my work career, but of my entire life's development." 


Kay Gruling, M.D. (UWMC Alumna 1980-1982) Family Practice, Marshfield Clinic-Wausau Center

"The personal attention I received from the outstanding UWMC faculty, in addition to the opportunity for involvement in a variety of activities, provided me with the cornerstone  necessary for a successful future."


Jim Perry (UWMC Alumnus 1966-1968) CEO/Campus Dean, UW-Fox Valley

"I shudder to think of what I might be doing today if it were not for UW-Marathon County.  I decided to attend UWMC because of it's academic reputation and reasonable cost.  It was one of the best decisions I have ever made."


Dave Obey (UWMC Alumnus 1956-1958)         U.S. Congressman

"Without the UW-Marathon campus I would not be a member of Congress today.  The Wausau campus opened a very large door for me.  My two years there gave me the confidence that I needed to do well at the UW-Madison campus.  UWMC is one of the links on the chain of possibilities that can make quality education available to everyone."  


Chris Bangle (UWMC Alumnus 1975-1977) Chief of Design, BMW - Munich, Germany

"Although I did not know it at the time, I was fortunate to have studied the fundamental building blocks for design management while I was at UWMC.  Those two years before design college were the best investment in my future I could have made."
