Statesmen Provides Large Economic Impact to Community
Oskaloosa–William Penn University is a proud member of the Oskaloosa community and is excited to continue to grow its economic footprint.
Despite competing in fewer events and in front of smaller crowds during the global pandemic, WPU still hosted well over 100 athletic competitions during the 2020-2021 academic year. Those home events accounted for an estimated economic impact of $453,000 for the Oskaloosa community.
In addition to normal outings, the University also hosted a women’s volleyball tournament, the school’s first-ever bowling tournament, a trio of outdoor track and field meets, and the Heart of America Athletic Conference Championship for men’s wrestling. In recent years, William Penn has also been the host site for an NAIA National Championship Opening Round tournament for men’s soccer, while bringing in teams for conference tournaments as well.
