RIVER FALLS -- A focus on providing solutions -- both on campus and in the community -- has been a guiding priority for the University of Wisconsin system during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a visit to UW-River Falls, UW System Interim President Tommy Thompson said he wants people to turn to the university for help and solutions when needed.
“Next to our people in Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin system is our biggest asset,” he said.
The universities have reopened, and Thompson has set a goal for 75% of classes to be in-person by the fall. Thompson said the only way to reopen schools successfully was to develop a successful testing program to keep professors, administrators and students safe.
