While being recognized as Large Business of the Year by the Menomonie Chamber of Commerce, the University of Wisconsin-Stout also celebrated its role in the community.
The recognition comes as the chamber annually recognizes several entities in the community, including small businesses, with this year’s recipient as Markquart Menomonie; nonprofits, recognizing The Bridge to Hope; emerging leaders and others.
Seth Hudson, executive director of corporate relations and economic engagement, said the recognition is an honor.
“It really celebrates our partnerships with the community and our relationships with businesses and our collaborations that we put in place over a number of years,” he said. “We sit in the heart of downtown Menomonie and we are a large economic impact to the community as well, but we see ourselves in a relationship where we are working collectively and I think that’s what this award really calls out and shows.”
