Parkside Magazine
Last week, the Spring 2021 Edition of the Parkside Magazine was released with the theme of Parkside's Innovation Evolution. The idea of innovation is as old as change itself. Innovation by very definition is about making changes, more often than not changing something that’s very well established through the introduction of new methods, ideas, or products.
The good news is that our UW-Parkside community has embraced innovation and the changes driving innovation in society since our very foundation.
This issue discusses the future of the Future Focus Fund, celebrates the lives and contribution of faculty and staff members who have passed, recaps Parkside Day and updates on Athletics news and events.
We want to share an extra special thank-you to the people who made this issue possible:
Chancellor Debbie Ford
Vice Chancellor for University Advancement Willie Jude II
Editor - Hannah Wallisch
Writers - Sean Daniels, Derek Fye ‘18, John Mielke, Andrew Savagian
