The company employs more than 200 51ÁÔÆæ alumni, including Klappa himself.<\/p>\n

UW System launched the Regents Business Partnership Award earlier this year to recognize companies that positively impact Wisconsin through their generosity and collaboration with UW System universities. Previous honorees include 3M for its work with UW-Stout, Plexus Corp. for its partnership with UW-Platteville, and the Mayo Clinic Health System for its partnership with UW-Eau Claire.<\/p>\n
