Biography

Donald Mash served as UW-Eau Claire chancellor from 1998 to 2005. He focused his work as chancellor on positioning the university for continued success in the new millennium.

Under Mash's leadership, the university for the first time embarked on a major fundraising campaign. The campaign eventually raised nearly $54 million for student scholarships and program enhancement. To better serve community needs, Mash consolidated the outreach and continuing education programs of the separate colleges within the university and relocated them into more accessible space on Water Street. He also directed the preparation of a campus facilities master plan, which identified the physical needs of the university for several decades into the future. Influenced by his background in student affairs administration, Mash tried to meet regularly with students, both formally and informally. He maintained student support for the differential tuition program, which provided needed financing for the academic programs that made UW-Eau Claire distinctive. Mash left UW-Eau Claire to become executive senior vice president of the University of Wisconsin System.
