University of Wisconsin-River Falls

The University of Wisconsin–River Falls (also known as UW–River Falls, UWRF or Moo-U) is a liberal arts undergraduate and graduate university and a member of the University of Wisconsin System. UW–River Falls is located in River Falls, Wisconsin on the famed trout fishing Kinnickinnic River. The 226-acre (0.91 km) campus consists of 32 major buildings, ten of which are residence halls. The university also operates two laboratory farms containing a total of 440 acres (1.8 km) of land. Nicknamed the Falcons, the University has eighteen varsity sports for men and women competing in Division III of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. From 1991 to 2009, the Kansas City Chiefs used many of the university's athletic facilities during their annual summer training camp. The Chiefs moved their training camp to Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri in 2010. Founded as the "River Falls Normal School" in 1874, the institution's primary focus was to prepare students for teaching careers. In 1926 it became the River Falls State Teachers College. It adopted its present name in 1971.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
