Since it opened its doors as a normal school in 1894, the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point has touched the lives of thousands of people in both personal and professional ways. The university’s rich history and traditions have woven a tapestry of memories for its alumni and former faculty and staff members just as current students, faculty and staff are creating their own. This goal of this site is to preserve this tapestry for future generations and strengthen the bond we all share as Pointers.
