Mission
Blugolds play hard — and they work even harder. UW-Eau Claire is a member of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC), which consists of eight UW System schools. Chances are good you've sat next to an athlete in one or more of your classes; on top of all the extra time spent in practice for their teams, our athletes have carried an average GPA of 3.34 for thirteen consecutive years.

Not only are Blugolds consistently named among the best conference scholar-athletes, they are also nationally recognized for their participation in community service and locally known for bringing their best to every game, match, meet and round.

Mission
Preparing graduates to foster equity in all areas of society
The newly established Center for Racial and Restorative Justice, a clearinghouse for research, scholarship, advocacy and action, aims to educate students and the greater Eau Claire community about the history of race in America and the barriers to upward mobility for people of color in areas such as education, criminal justice, health care, commerce, and housing.
Through a multipronged approach, the center will ensure that UW-Eau Claire is preparing graduates for life in a truly changing landscape. Understanding the concepts of race, justice, equity, equality, restorative justice, and critical identity theories will help our graduates stand above their counterparts as well as become leaders in ongoing social and cultural change.

Strategic goals for the center
The center's approach to preparing graduates for life has several strategic goals as its centerpiece for social and cultural change:

Provide a space for research on race to advance and enhance a comprehensive UW-Eau Claire education.
Develop a body of research, scholarship, advocacy, and action regarding Indigenous Peoples.
Present speakers, researchers, and practitioners on the topics of race.
Coordinate, develop, and implement university-wide trainings, workshops, and engagement opportunities to enhance critical understandings of race and justice.
Secure funding to support strategic and operational initiatives that advance the impact of the center.
Provide opportunities for student engagement to create sustainable change.
Sponsor mentoring and professional development opportunities for students of color to ensure they are prepared for success and leadership in various settings.
Racing Toward Justice
"Racing Toward Justice" is the flagship program of the Center for Racial and Restorative Justice. The monthly program features speakers on topics of race and social injustice and provides microgrants for student programs or initiatives committed to advancing racial justice. The program will also sponsor diversity fellows each academic year.
