Faculty and Staff

The focus at University of Wisconsin-River Falls is undergraduate education. Emphasis is placed on how students develop through their educational experiences --- in classes, in labs and in social situations. The low student-faculty ratio (17 students per faculty member) enables professors to get to know the students personally. Get to know our faculty and staff below.
