Here is an excerpt from UWM Chancellor Mark Mone’s recent campus message, with a few new updates; read the whole message here.
Board of Regents Review: Tuition
Resident tuition rates will remain the same for 2017-18.
At its Dec. 8 meeting, the Board of Regents approved the following 2017-18 non-resident tuition rates, which included:
- No increase for non-resident graduate students; and
- A 5% increase for non-resident undergraduate students.
Please note that the 5% increase would not apply to students from Minnesota or the Midwest Student Exchange Program, a multi-state tuition reciprocity program with Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, and North Dakota.
Campus Climate
UWM’s many dimensions of diversity are a major strength, and we want all students, faculty and staff to feel welcome. I ask that we look to our Guiding Values, especially the following:
- A caring, compassionate, and collegial community characterized by mutual respect and safety.
- Diversity in all of its definitions, including who we are, how we think, and what we do.
Strategic Visioning
I am leading a work group to develop a clear, crisp strategy to advance and protect our strategic drivers.
- Student success
- Research excellence
- Community engagement
- Culture and climate
- Brand, visibility and image
Work starts now and will be completed in February.
