Building Our Future

UWM is setting its course for the future. We’re focusing the next phase of our evolution on being student-centric and more engaged in the community while retaining our distinctive identity and purpose.

The 2030 Action Plan provides the framework for UWM to advance student success and fulfill our mission as a research and access institution that enhances and improves the quality of life for all in southeastern Wisconsin.

The 2030 Action Plan includes eight priorities focused on success for UWM and our students. The work involved in developing these goals is detailed in the 2030 Implementation Team Final Report (Spring 2021).

Implementation Teams have been formed around each of the eight priorities and have worked continuously towards their goals since the report publication in 2021.

Many of these goals are an extension of ongoing efforts, while others are new. All of the goals will propel UWM to create cultural and operational changes to be a strong and sustainable institution.
