Guide to the Best Campus Spots with Stevie Pointer

First up, let's start this tour off strong with a stop at The Noel Fine Arts Center (NFAC). This building holds all of UWSP's extremely talented arts majors, and provides students and faculty the opportunity to hold events and performances that are open to the public all semester long. These events, such as music, theatre, and dance, are held in Michelsen Hall, Jenkins Theatre, and more! Check out UWSP Tickets to see upcoming shows.

On our way to the Science Building, let's take a stop at the famous POINTER dog sculpture. POINTER was constructed in 2011 by UWSP Carlsten Gallery student, August Kochanowski, in his father's studio (Boleslaw Kochanowski). It was sponsored by the Karlsten Gallery student advisory committee, commonly known on campus as (CGSAC). The 2,500-pound, eight-foot tall dog now sits in front of the Daniel O. Trainer Natural Resources Building, greeting visitors with great photo opportunities. 

Next, let's head to The Science Building on campus. The Science Building at UWSP offers a variety of exhibits and shows open to the public, including a look into the Allen F. Blocher Planetarium, the Arthur J. Pejsa Observatory, Museum of Natural History, and even a Laser Light Show put on by UWSP students.

For a bonus stop, let's venture next door to the science building and make a stop at the Chemistry Biology Building!

Continuing the tour, let's head over to the College of Professional Studies Building (CPS). Whether it be nursing, early childhood education, business, or another professional discipline, this building houses them all! Here you can find the university's Gesell Institute for Early Childhood Learning as well as the delicious CPS Café to kick back and relax at. 

Now we come to our last stop on the tour, The Dreyfus University Center (DUC). This building is very much the heart of campus. Here, you'll find events, fairs, food and drinks, and more. This place is home to Homegrown Café, the perfect place to make a quick pitstop for a coffee and snack. Planning on staying awhile? This building also houses the Basement Brewhaus, where you can play a game of pool, a board game, or join in on some trivia. Also check out the Laird Room, Alumni Room, and the Encore for events open to the public.
