Wausau: Documentary & Discussion: “Closure”

October 22 @ 5:30 pm7:30 pm

"Closure" documentary cover

Join us for a screening of the new documentary “Closure” about the University of Wisconsin’s two-year college system, followed by a Q&A with the film’s director.

Ken Brosky, director of the film, investigated the impact of campus closures around the state and provided a summary of the film ahead of this October 22 program: Massive budget cuts, mergers, political attacks, and declining enrollments have devastated Wisconsin’s University System. At the center of the crisis are the two-year community colleges that serve the Wisconsin Idea by providing higher education access everywhere in the state. Under tremendous stress, these campuses are being shut down at a time when rural communities need them most.

Free and open to the public, no registration required, and a Q&A will follow the screening. Call 715-261-7230 for more information.
