Small Street Journal: July 13, 2018

Dr. Jean Pratt, professor of information systems and interim associate dean of the College of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, has been named the 2018 Computer Educator of the Year by the International Association for Computer Information Systems (IACIS). The award recognizes a faculty member who has compiled an outstanding record of professional service, teaching and scholarship, and has made significant contributions to their university and their profession.

Brittany Nielsen has been named campus director of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire – Barron County following a competitive search process. As director of the Barron County campus, located in Rice Lake, Nielsen will lead recruitment and enrollment efforts in conjunction with UW-Eau Claire, oversee all student affairs activities, and be responsible for daily operations. Nielsen was formerly campus administrator at UW-Barron County and associate dean for student affairs and enrollment management for UW Colleges. She joins Dr. Troy Kozma, previously named academic chair, as the UW-Eau Claire – Barron County leadership team. The finalization of the UW-Eau Claire – Barron County leadership team came as the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools recently approved UW System-wide restructuring of all the UW Colleges. Under the restructuring, all former UW System two-year colleges merged with four-year institutions effective July 1.

  • Samantha Olesiak, M.D., of Weyerhaeuser, Wisconsin, completed medical school at Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
Funding for the program came in part from a $750,000 grant awarded in 2014 by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to help train new family medicine doctors, especially in rural areas.
