UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-RIVER FALLS
SCIENCE DAY

In 1978, the Department of Chemistry initiated Science Day. Each year, usually the first Friday in October, science departments at UW-River Falls jointly host Science Day for Wisconsin high schools within a hundred mile radius, and select Minnesota high schools. The participating science departments prepare various presentations and demonstrations that are designed to stimulate an interest in science among high school students in search of career options and to acquaint them with science faculty, facilities, and state-of-the-art equipment at UW-River Falls. Science Day has become a very popular event among area high school students and teachers with an average of 650 students attending.
