==Student life==
==Notable alumni and people==


On November 21, 1968 there were two demonstrations involved in and referred to as 'Black Thursday'. The first demonstration occurred during the morning by mostly black students at Wisconsin State University–Oshkosh, that occupied the Presidents office, protesting against the lack of black faculty and black-oriented courses,<ref name="bwtbpou">{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=0UUxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=sBAEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7120%2C4788531|title=Blacks want to be part of university|date=November 23, 1968|newspaper=Milwaukee Sentinel|page=10, part 2}}</ref> they refused to leave, damaged the Presidents office, destroyed furniture and office records. The students were arrested by baton-wielding riot police when they refused to leave.<ref name="thpaosh">{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=0EUxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=sBAEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6173%2C4349659|title=200 patrol at Oshkosh after strife|date=November 22, 1968|newspaper=Milwaukee Sentinel|page=1, part 1}}</ref><ref name="mjcshhaoos">{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=aD0aAAAAIBAJ&sjid=GCgEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6730%2C530963|title=Classes suspended, 100 held at Oshkosh|date=November 22, 1968|newspaper=Milwaukee Journal|agency=|page=1, part 1 part 1}}</ref><ref name="ovgbackex">{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Q94jAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FigEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5640%2C3041380|title=Oshkosh vigil backs 90 expelled students|date=January 7, 1969|newspaper=Milwaukee Journal|agency=|page=10, part 1}}</ref>


News coverage of the first demonstration was minimal unlike the National and International television and live reporting coverage of the second demonstration by 400 white students who occupied the Wisconsin State University–Oshkosh Reeves Student Union cafeteria in the early evening. Oshkosh Police contacted the President of Wisconsin State University–Oshkosh Student Assembly who entered the student union while all Oshkosh police remained outside including Oshkosh riot police standing offset around the glass floor to ceding windows of the Reeves Student Union cafeteria. The President of the Student Assembly spoke briefly to the students and convinced them to all follow him out of the student union as he had suggested, onto the street opposite Reeves Student Unions and returned to their housing units as he also suggested, averting any arrests or violence. No students were arrested or later expelled.


==References==
Until the 1960s the Wisconsin State University–Oshkosh student body was almost exclusively white as were the Faculty. The Wisconsin State University–Oshkosh administration at the time has been described as "conservative, paternalistic" and "ruled by elderly white males in the twilight of their careers".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scenenewspaper.com/news-views/19-news-view/195-remember-the-oshkosh-94.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2009-04-12 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090412020140/http://www.scenenewspaper.com/news-views/19-news-view/195-remember-the-oshkosh-94.html |archivedate=2009-04-12 |df= }}</ref> As result of the first demonstration the university expelled 94 students, almost all black, from the first 'Black Thursday' demonstration.

The first Black Thursday demonstration was marked in a campus exhibit in 2008–09. The UW-Oshkosh Library Archives hold the material from the second Black Thursday demonstration of November 21, 1968 as well as news reports and television videos.


The university has been expanding in capacity and infrastructure. Student population and campus changed little through the 1980s and 1990s. Since 2005, the institution has undertaken several green building projects and a Growth Agenda for new programs, faculty hiring and increased student population.

In 2010, the campus opened a refurbished dining hall as its new Student Success Center. The building consolidated student services into a single location. It is designed to be one of the most energy efficient buildings in the state, with a geothermal ground source heating system installed beneath a nearby parking lot.


{{DEFAULTSORT:University Of Wisconsin-Oshkosh}}
The campus had three major buildings built in 2010. A new academic building (Sage Hall), the first since 1971, houses the College of Business and allied departments from the College of Letters and Science, including Psychology, Geography, and Environmental Studies. It is designed to use less than half the energy of similar buildings on campus, and to generate 10% of its energy from renewable technologies.<ref>[http://www.uwosh.edu/today/2254/uwo-breaks-ground-on-green-academic-center New Academic Building]; University of Wisconsin Oshkosh; retrieved December 8, 2010</ref> A new residence hall (Horizon Village) replaced three older buildings to provide suite-style accommodations.
