Purpose of the survey: The 2025 Student Survey on the Chippewa Valley was conducted to gain deeper insights into what students value most in a community as they plan for life after graduation. By identifying key factors that influence students' decisions on where to live and work, this survey aims to provide local businesses with actionable data. Understanding these preferences will help shape initiatives that attract and retain young talent, foster economic growth, and enhance overall appeal for the Chippewa Valley as a vibrant place to live, work and thrive. This report contains the results from 576 UW-Eau Claire & Chippewa Valley Technical College students.
