ICE AGE TRAIL

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail Alliance (IATA) have come together to collaborate in a Community-Based Learning partnership.

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is committed to transforming lives and impacting society by providing high quality academic programming that prepares graduates to become lifelong learners who lead successful lives and productive careers, making positive contributions to the State of Wisconsin, to our nation, and to the world.
