The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL) and J.F. Brennan Company, Inc. have formally announced their partnership. The agreement between Brennan and UWL will further the educational opportunities for students studying environmental science, equipping them to start on the job right after they graduate.
Brennan is partnering with UWL to support student research and curriculum, and to strengthen the talent pipeline, both locally and within the environmental services industry.
The memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed Tuesday, October 18, will get students on the Mississippi River access to the same technology they will find when they head into the workforce.
“ Our business, like any business, is fundamentally based on the ability to recruit, train and retain good people ,” said Matt Binsfeld , president and CEO of J.F. Brennan Company.
“It’s going to be a great opportunity to get the technology that we use into the hands of students.”
Roger Haro, associate dean of the UWL College of Science and Health, added that the students will benefit because they will experience a real-world situation.
