Biography/Motivation

The WSU Retiree Center exists to support the mission of Winona State University and enrich the campus community, as well as the lives of the retired staff, faculty and administration. The Center provides institutional connections between the University and retirees who may wish to continue their intellectual and social participation in collegial life and service to the University.

Winona State University Retirees have been, and continue to be, an integral part of WSU. They believe deeply in higher education and intellectual enrichment for all who desire it and thus have individually supported 90+ WSU scholarships. The Retiree Center Advisory Board is grateful for their philanthropy and wishes to provide a means for all retirees to contribute to student success and access at Winona State University.
