UWM Future Educators Summit 2023 in collaboration with Wisconsin Educators Rising Regional Workshop

Friday, October 27, 2023
9:30-2:30

This Summit brings together high school students who are interested in pursuing a career in Education. We know several high schools have Education Pathways for students; we want to help in your efforts to engage, inform, and energize students. For the past two years, we invited students who were enrolled in a UWM Education dual enrollment class; this year we are excited to collaborate with Educators Rising, Milwaukee Literacy Lab, and Teach For America to invite more students and increase the options of sessions students can choose from. High School Students who will attend should complete this brief survey before OCT. 10 to help us plan the event.

Drop off & Pick up Location: Merrill Hall, 2512 East Hartford Ave, Milwaukee
Parking for busses or vans: Contact Jordan Kellogg at kellogg3@uwm.edu
