EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - Xcel Energy and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire have been honored with the Regents Business Partnership Award by the Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents on October 28. This award, presented at Xcel Energy’s regional headquarters, acknowledges the impactful collaboration that has significantly benefited western Wisconsin.
Regent Ed Manydeeds praised the partnership for its contributions to the community. “I want to congratulate Xcel Energy and UW-Eau Claire, which have worked together to benefit students and our communities across western Wisconsin,” Manydeeds said.
Karl Hoesly, president of Xcel Energy-Wisconsin and Michigan, expressed gratitude for the recognition. “We are truly thankful to receive the Regents Business Partnership Award and value our longstanding collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire,” Hoesly said.
The partnership has led to initiatives like The Sonnentag, a $122 million recreational facility that is energy-neutral and powered by Xcel’s solar array. Additionally, Xcel has provided internships and career opportunities for UW-Eau Claire students, supporting career fairs and STEM events.
UW-Eau Claire Interim Chancellor Michael Carney emphasized the importance of the collaboration. “The leadership team at Xcel has worked with UW-Eau Claire to provide opportunities for students, faculty and staff to make a positive difference in the community,” Carney said.
President Jay Rothman highlighted the mutual benefits of the partnership. “UW-Eau Claire is fortunate to have an employer like Xcel as such a vital partner,” Rothman said. This collaboration continues to drive forward both UW-Eau Claire and Wisconsin.
이번 파트너십을 통해
122백만 달러 규모의 친환경 레크리에이션 시설인 더 소넨태그(The Sonnentag)’가 조성되었으며,
이 시설은 Xcel Energy의 태양광 설비를 활용한 에너지 중립 건물로 운영되고 있다.
또한 Xcel Energy는 UW–Eau Claire 학생들을 위한
인턴십 및 취업 기회를 제공하고,
커리어 페어와 STEM(과학·기술·공학·수학) 관련 행사도 적극 지원해 왔다.
UW–Eau Claire의 임시 총장 마이클 카니(Michael Carney)는
“Xcel Energy의 리더십 팀은 학생, 교수진, 교직원들이
지역사회에 긍정적인 변화를 만들어갈 수 있도록
다양한 기회를 제공해 왔다”고 강조했다.
UW 시스템 총장 제이 로스먼(Jay Rothman) 역시
“UW–Eau Claire는 Xcel Energy와 같은 고용주를
중요한 파트너로 두고 있다는 점에서 매우 행운”이라며
이번 협력이 UW–Eau Claire와 위스콘신 주 전체의 발전을
지속적으로 이끌고 있다고 평가했다.
