Six Decades of Service to the Cooperative Community
The University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives (UWCC) is the oldest university-based cooperative center in the nation. This year, UWCC celebrates its 60th anniversary, reflecting on a rich history of research, education, and outreach supporting cooperatives.
Over the next several months, we will be celebrating our past, present, and future accomplishments and raising money to support our work for the next 60 years. We hope you will help us celebrate this milestone by sharing the impacts UWCC has had on your life or cooperative and by contributing to our fundraising campaign.
