We are very excited to announce that the main campus library will be named the Mary Reinhart University Library , opening in late 2026 when we move into the new Library and Student Resource Center building. This new name recognizes the extraordinary generosity of Mary E. Reinhart , whose estate gift will impact generations of UW-Stevens Point students. Through her gift to the UWSP Foundation, Mary created two endowed scholarships designed to meet students where they are and open doors to their future: The Mary E. Reinhart Retention Scholarship , which provides immediate financial assistance to students facing unexpected emergencies—so one obstacle doesn’t force them to abandon their education. A  scholarship for student library leaders who, through their involvement in the library, coursework, or demonstrated interest, have made a meaningful contribution to the library. Mary’s ties to UW-Stevens Point run deep. Her father, Harold Reinhart , graduated from what was then the S...

Enslavers in Texas, in particular, delayed the announcement. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865 , when Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas , with Union troops and General Order No. 3, that more than 250,000 enslaved people in Texas were informed of their freedom.

Why Juneteenth Matters Juneteenth, officially recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, is more than a historic date—it is a call to action. It reminds us of the strength, endurance, and determination of Black Americans thr...
