Marty's Message

This past weekend I had the pleasure of talking with the UWSP Alumni Board, many of which are CPS graduates who are always interested in learning about our programs.

I always get excited when talking about all the great things going on in CPS. I shared with our alumni some examples of our excellent work with students, our continued community involvement, and how we've become active in the UWSP Thriving Communities initiative.

We are proud to be CPS!
Marty Loy,
CPS
