A lot has happened at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh during the past year. The men’s basketball team went toe to toe with Nebraska Wesleyan University at the NCAA Division III Championship in Salem, Virginia; the Higher Learning Commission approved the joining of UW Oshkosh, UW-Fond du Lac and UW-Fox Valley; the Rec Plex seasonal dome was erected for students to take part in intramural sports year-round; and many more significant milestones were reached in between. Looking back, 2018 was a great year to be a Titan!
