⭐️Intern Spotlight ⭐️ Meet Johnnie Avila from Prairie du Chein High School! Johnnie completed his first rotation in the Grounds Department at UW-P and has begun his rotation at Bridgeway Dining services. He is most proud of learning how to use equipment like a w**d wacker, leaf blower and driving the gator and also learning how to work with a team. Now, while training at Bridgeway he is flattening and grilling flatbread, preparing the hamburger for their famous smash burgers and serving college students! Johnnie has stepped out of his comfort zone and is thriving with the new skills he’s mastered! Congratulations Johnnie and keep up the fantastic work! 👏

Welcome to the 2025-2026 University of Wisconsin-Platteville Project SEARCH cohort. 🧡💙

We have had a crew of interns on campus for many weeks. Before our interns even experience working on campus, they spend the first several weeks together building their team.

Our interns have been:
- Learning about the program and participating in team building exercises in our campus classroom.
- Getting familiar with campus so they can navigate from building to building.
- Developing fabulous relationships while on some fun fieldtrips.

We are excited to share more about their campus experience this year. Thank you to our interns for joining the team.
