Good morning, Wausau.

Bob Brinkmann, the new 16th chancellor of UWSP, outlined his goals to pursue a Carnegie Classification and strengthen community ties at campuses in Stevens Point, Wausau, and Marshfield.

The partnership with North Central Technical College will expand four-year degree opportunities at UWSP at Wausau this fall.

Two UWSP foundations are merging to boost scholarship awards and streamline campus fund management.

The new structure builds on years of planning and local input to expand financial support for students.

Wood County officers rescued a wounded bald eagle in Rock on July 9 after a caller reported the injured bird on July 8; the bird was taken to Raptor Education Group Inc. in Antigo for treatment.
