In all, the university educates more than 24,000 students on its three campuses. It is the largest educator of veterans in Wisconsin, with more than 1,000 enrolled each year under the federal G.I. bill.

The Center is seeking eager, self-motivated teachers to join in our vision for our work to include all children as capable learners, all teachers and families as full partners and quality programs for children as integral to the success of all communities.
