College History
The beginnings of the campus are rooted in the 1950s when the University of Wisconsin�Madison operated an extension campus in Fond du Lac. By the beginning of the 1960s however, that venture had ended, and local community organizers were hoping to bring a fully operating campus to the community. Setting up a joint commission between the city and county, they successfully lobbied for the building of a campus and set aside land in 1966, the previous home of the county airport on the city of Fond du Lac's east side. The campus opened as a satellite campus of UW�Oshkosh on September 9, 1968, and became an independent two-year campus in 1972. The addition of a student commons, 300-seat Prairie Theater, and renovation of the original buildings was completed in the fall of 2000.
