Dr. Julie A. Furst-Bowe, who served as provost and vice chancellor for academic and student affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Stout from 2005-2012, will begin her new post as vice president of instruction at Chippewa Valley Technical College beginning Aug. 17. Furst-Bowe, who grew up in Chippewa Falls, was most recently chancellor of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), where she served for three years. At UW-Stout, Furst-Bowe played a major role in efforts that resulted in the university becoming the first and only university to receive the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, an award that provides the highest level of national recognition for performance excellence that a U.S. organization can achieve. She now serves on the Board of Overseers for the Malcom Baldrige Award. At SIUE, Furst-Bowe led a university with nearly 14,000 students and 2,500 faculty and staff members located in the St. Louis metropolitan area.

The HSHS Sacred Heart Foundation is an integral part of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis Foundation, which supports 14 HSHS hospitals throughout Wisconsin and Illinois, and assures that all funds raised in the Eau Claire area stay local and are appropriately administered to provide the greatest impact for our community.
