Your journey through college is one that changes your life, broadens your horizons, and enhances your critical thinking skills. We firmly believe that the college journey should also open hearts and minds to histories and experiences sometimes not fully appreciated by all. The Civil Rights Pilgrimage through UW-Eau Claire is a unique opportunity to travel the path of the civil rights movement and walk through these pivotal places and stories in our history.

Help fund the Civil Rights Pilgrimage

Without the continued support from the UW-Eau Claire Foundation and generous community donations, the UW-Eau Claire Civil Rights Pilgrimage would not be possible for many students and area teachers. It is through their contributions that students and teachers are able to learn in great depth and experience the civil rights movement. Please consider donating.
