As spring approaches, we’re celebrating the people who make UWM exceptional. During Employee Appreciation Week, faculty and staff were honored with Length of Service Awards, recognizing milestones from five to 45 years of dedicated service to our campus community.
We also continued a proud, 65-year tradition of recognizing outstanding alumniand partners whose achievements reflect the impact of UWM in communities and professions near and far. Be sure to watch the video highlighting one of this year’s honorees below.
Looking ahead, we’re gearing up for the sixth annual 414 for UWM Giving Days, so mark your calendars! This effort helps fund scholarships and programs that create opportunities for our students and strengthen our Panther community, and we appreciate your help in getting the word out.
