Ed M. Lee, a former staff member at UW-Marshfield/Wood County, is the new associate registrar at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

Lee was a business instructor, program coordinator and academic adviser for the Collaborative Degree Program (CDP) at UW-Marshfield/Wood County for the past several years. The CDP is UWSP�s bachelor�s degree program offered at the two-year colleges in Marshfield, Wausau, Marinette and Fond du Lac. Over the last seven years, he has had two interim appointments in student services at UW Marshfield/Wood County providing support in areas of credit auditing, advising, registration and orientation. Lee also taught at Mid-State Technical College and served as a district manager for Northern Auto Supply.

A Marshfield native, Lee is a Columbus High School graduate. He holds degrees from Saint Norbert College, DePere, and UW-Oshkosh. He has volunteered with United Way, Marshfield YMCA, Leadership Marshfield and Pathway Partners.

Lee says he was attracted to the associate registrar position because the UWSP staff he had contact with over the years were "wonderful and positive." After making the decision to pursue the position at UWSP, Lee credits the support of Andy Keogh, friend and dean at UW-Marshfield Wood County, as an important factor in the process. Even though he has much to learn, Lee believes his broad-based experience at the college makes the new position a good fit for his skills.

Lee resides in Marshfield with his wife, Cindy, and three sons.
