The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Celebrates Its Sesquicentennial Anniversary

The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh is beginning its sesquicentennial celebration. Shane Nyman summarized key activities planned for this fall in "UWO at 150: It’s time to celebrate a century and a half of success."

OWU was founded as Oshkosh Normal School in 1871. The name changed to Oshkosh Teachers College in 1925, Wisconsin State College-Oshkosh in 1949, Wisconsin State University-Oshkosh in 1964, and then to the current University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1971.

You can learn more about UWO's history by visiting the 150th Anniversary web pages. There are links to a timeline with key dates, a schedule of sesquicentennial activities, and a short Youtube sesquicentennial preview.
