MSA was recently selected to receive the Regents Business Partnership Award in recognition of a long-standing partnership of excellence between the firm and the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.

The Universities of Wisconsin Regents Business Partnership Award is given once annually to businesses positively impacting the University of Wisconsin system of education, honoring organizations committed to collaboration in support of academic excellence, workforce readiness, and community growth.

Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman, MSA CEO Nick Wagner, Regent Tom Palzewicz, and UW-Platteville Chancellor Tammy Evetovich.

“MSA exemplifies what it means to be a true partner in higher education,” remarked UW-Platteville Chancellor Tammy Evetovich. “They don’t just hire our graduates, they invest in our students and our communities. Together, we’re not just preparing students for careers — we’re shaping lives, communities, and the future of Wisconsin.”

MSA CEO Nick Wagner accepted the award on behalf of the organization, accompanied by 25 of the firm’s 104 UW-Platteville alumni. “I am proud and honored to receive this award on behalf of MSA,” commented Wagner, also a UW-Platteville alumnus. “I value the strong relationship we’ve built with the university over the years and am confident that UW-Platteville will continue to thrive and innovate, equipping the next generation of engineers and leaders to meet the challenges of tomorrow.”

MSA received the Regents Business Partnership Award at a special ceremony held at the Markee Pioneer Student Center on the UW-Platteville campus Thursday, November 13, 2025.
