Dear Colleagues and Friends,
As we turn the corner on the pandemic, we are seeing the supply of jobs outpace the number of workers. The war in Ukraine is bringing global military operations into view in ways we haven’t seen in decades. Closer to home, winter weather continues to wreak havoc on our roads.
Today, I share news about how a new service led by UWM researchers is connecting workers with jobs, why UWM has been recognized as a top 10 military-friendly university, and why our waterways, after a winter’s worth of salting roads, show higher levels of chloride months later in the summer.
Best Regards,
