Great news from the College of Liberal Arts and Education and Criminal Justice & Forensic Investigation program! They have received accreditation from the Forensic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC), a body of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS). UW-Platteville is among a very small number of forensic science programs nationwide to hold this accreditation and we are the only university in the Upper Midwest to earn this distinction.

My sister reminded me that when we were little we would help our mother sell poppies on Memorial Day. It is a good memory I have and a reminder of what this day is about. Grateful for all who have and are serving.
