On March 12, 2025, Michael R. Ford, founding director of the Whitburn Center at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh announced a new partnership today with the Wisconsin Alliance for Civic Trust, a cross-partisan citizen group focused on building trust in democratic institutions.

Under terms of the arrangement, WisACT’s programming will be managed by Whitburn staff, led by Whitburn Interim Director Samantha J. Larson. WisACT’s founders, former Gov. Scott McCallum, who also is chair of the Whitburn advisory board, and David D. Haynes, a former journalist, will continue in an advisory role.
