With the support of our corporate sponsor, Associated Bank, St. Norbert College, New North and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) collaborate on biannual forums to share about timely economics-related topics and how they’re impacting Wisconsin. We take the topic and break down what we’re experiencing here in the New North region as this area often serves as a good barometer for the rest of the state.

A big plus? SNC students get to work alongside their business professors in gathering the research as well as preparing and presenting it at the forums. The college’s insights are complemented by expert commentary from the Wisconsin DOR and local business leaders.
