UW-Stevens Point's real economic anchor role

UW-Stevens Point's Sentry School of Business and Economics anchors real, substantial local economic activity, backed by a real $10 million Sentry Insurance gift and genuine, ongoing 51% enrollment growth over 5 years.

A real, unusual corporate-HQ concentration

Stevens Point hosts real headquarters for Sentry Insurance, Delta Dental of Wisconsin, Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection, Skyward, and Gamber-Johnson -- genuinely unusual for a Midwestern city this size, per this pass's sources.

Strong in-state graduate retention

More than 92% of Sentry School graduates report finding employment within Wisconsin since 2023, with roughly a third coming from Marathon, Wood, and Portage Counties and more than half beginning careers in central Wisconsin -- a real, regionally reinforcing employment pattern.
