UW-Eau Claire is inviting community businesses, area organizations such as neighborhood associations, churches, and city departments to campus to promote their services and products to students.

The Campus-Community Connection is a showcase of city resources, services and retailers available to students.

The event is presented during the first week of classes to help students connect with businesses and services in the Chippewa Valley and to give area retailers an opportunity to connect with the student consumer.

It happens on the campus mall from 11 to 3 today (Wednesday).
