Levin-Stankevich, Brian
Biography
Brian Levin-Stankevich served as UW-Eau Claire chancellor from 2006 to 2012, during which time he promoted the growth of the campus and the improvement of the university's programs despite large reductions in state support.
During the Levin-Stankevich years, two major construction projects came to life on campus. A new W.R. Davies Student Center replaced the first student center that had been built in 1959. Construction began on a new classroom building, eventually named Centennial Hall, on the site of the old Campus School. During these years there also were renovations to the student recreation center, a restoration of the auditorium in historic Schofield Hall, and participation by the university in a public-private partnership to renovate and expand Hobbs Ice Center. A subsidiary of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation also purchased the former St. Bede Monastery south of Eau Claire, and the university planned to relocate the Children's Center there.
Levin-Stankevich also led the adoption of the Blugold Commitment program, through which students agreed to pay additional differential tuition to fund new faculty positions, provide additional financial aid, create programs that provide education beyond the traditional classroom setting, increase the four-year graduation rate and lower class size. Levin-Stankevich left UW-Eau Claire to head Westminster College in Utah.
