Let’s hear you roar! UWM is turning 60 years old and kicking off the year-long celebration Sunday, Aug. 7, in the Central Park area at the Wisconsin State Fair.
Help celebrate the milestone with activities, experiments, games, giveaways, contests, cooking demos, face painting and photo ops throughout the day. Here are a few ways to make the best of the day.
Live music
Jam out with the UWM alums in the band the Anytime Leslies. They will perform on the Central Park Stage from 4 to 5 p.m.
Ready…Set…ROAR!
Feel these ferocious future Panthers shake the fairgrounds during the annual Roar Like a Panther contest. Children ages 12 and under are invited to roar for a special judge – UWM men’s basketball coach LaVall Jordan.
Graduate like a Panther
