          The Koehn Institute was founded in 1983 in response to area corporations requesting expertise and support as they made transitions to information-based technologies. To make the Institute a reality, Fox Valley businesses and the University community made financial, facility, and human resource commitments to start-up. The Institute found a physical home on the UW Oshkosh campus and was named after Richard W. Koehn, a respected area banking professional and special friend of the university.

          The Institute's growth has been rapid, fueled by the constant and fast-changing nature of the technology environment. While over time our suite of services may change, our focus remains information technology with a commitment to professional education for the community and the students of UW Oshkosh.
