Dear UWM Faculty and Staff,

During these unprecedented times of COVID-19, we understand how changing circumstances can be unsettling. Please join me, Provost Britz, and Vice Chancellor Van Harpen for a Microsoft Teams town hall meeting at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 17.

We will share the latest actions taken and plans in response to COVID-19. I will host the town hall and share the big picture on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected UWM. Provost Britz and Vice Chancellor Van Harpen will provide academic, HR and financial updates and will join me in answering your questions.

Your voices are important and we invite your questions, which can be shared in advance or asked online during the townhall by sending to: uwm-townhall@uwm.edu. We have created a FAQ resource that is updated daily at uwm.edu/coronavirus. Please check this comprehensive resource before submitting a townhall question; there are hundreds of answers available just a few clicks away.

Faculty and staff at all campuses are highly encouraged to participate by joining the town hall meeting here. The same link can be used for viewing the meeting at a later time.

Need Microsoft Teams Training?

An online session is available on Wednesday, April 15, from 10-11 a.m. Details are here. You can also view an IT News & Events article about the upcoming course.

We plan to hold a series of town hall meetings in the future, including some that are designed for our students. See below for an additional update.

Best regards,
