Due to the unprecedented budget crisis caused by the coronavirus-19 pandemic, University Personnel Development Committee funding has been suspended until further notice. Given the financial impact the pandemic has had on our university and the State of Wisconsin, the university is working to limit its expenses as much as possible while we wait for clarity on the campus and state budget.
