Where Partnerships Begin

The Office of Corporate Relations & Economic Engagement (OCREE) is the front door to UW–Stout for anyone outside of the university. The OCREE not only houses several outward‑facing centers, but also helps partners connect with the right people, programs, labs, and services across campus. Whether you’re a business, nonprofit, government agency, community group, or entrepreneur, we make it easy to find the support you need.
