The Platteville Main Street Program awarded Thomas Steinback the 2009 UWP Faculty Partnership of the Year Award.  This is the first time this award has been given out.  This award is awarded to the UWP Faculty member who has shown dedication and loyalty to the Platteville Main Street Program and the growth of entrepreneurship through education and sponsorship.  Tom has hosted a number of curriculum based programs, involving the Main Street Program directly as well as the Main Street businesses.  He is also the faculty sponsor to a Main Street  intern this summer.

The Main Street program feels that a partnership with the University of Platteville is critical to the growth of Main Street and the entrepreneurship of our young people.  We commend Tom on his excellent work with the Main Street Program, the community and the future of entrepreneurship.
