Hear From Our Panthers
Scotlyn
Music major
“The music program has completely changed my life. UWM helped me prepare for my career by giving me the training I need, but also by giving me experience outside of school to be a working musician.”
Brenden
Freshwater Sciences MS
“The accomplishment I’m most proud of in my graduate program is working for the McClellan Lab. The grad program does a really good job of giving us hands-on experience.”
Yazmin
Education major
“At UWM, I discovered my potential is limitless. I think what UWM does is prepare us for post-graduation. I studied abroad in Seville, Spain, and it taught me how to be independent.”
