From being inspired by successful alumni to being on her way to become one, business administration graduate Rosella Willie was hired before graduation as a tax associate at Redpath and Company. 👏

Success on the basketball court and off, Rosella found growth in areas of teamwork, time management, and leadership, preparing her for life after college: a full-time career and pursuing her CPA.

"Taxes and accounting can be stressful or confusing for many people, so I want to be someone clients can rely on to explain things clearly and support their financial goals. Ultimately, I want to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives beyond just preparing returns by helping them make informed decisions for their future," said Willie.

Throughout our long history, our educational institution that bears the name of its founder, James Huff Stout, has continuously evolved and maintained its position at the vanguard of higher education. Over the course of 135 years, two things have remained constant. The first is the presence of its founder’s name. The second is a commitment to applied learning — what was known as “manual training” in the 19th century and is called “polytechnic education” in the 21st.

Now for the first time, these two constant factors will be combined into the institution’s name: What was founded in 1891 as the Stout Manual Training School and became University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1971 will now be officially known as University of Wisconsin-Stout Polytechnic.

The name change on social media may take a few days.

Engineering Technology students created a "portable manufacturing cell," a wooden-toy-making machine to help teach young minds about engineering. Local elementary school students will experience the polytechnic edge as they watch & learn the engineering process behind how the cell works and creates the toy parts inside of it.

It can produce 20 tractors in an hour, including the main body, front and back wheels, and two dowel axles.

Learn how its made (the machine and the toys): https://bit.ly/42PmgT5
