Resources

Affinity groups are formed by employees based on a shared identity or common goal. They are not part of UWM’s formal governance structure, but they bring together employees with similar backgrounds or interests and help foster a greater sense of community and support.

The UWM Honors College, the Division for Community Empowerment and Institutional Inclusivity, and Student Involvement invite all UWM undergraduate students to submit proposals for their annual symposium to be held on Friday, April 11, 2025.

Civil discourse fosters reflective self-awareness, critical thinking, mutual respect, and commitment to the common good. As such, it can be a powerful tool for transformative learning, and it is essential to a flourishing democracy. 

The Training & Dispute Resolution Specialist supports the UWM community to engage conflict constructively for learning and positive change. Resources available to build conflict transformation capacities or resolve current disputes include: workshops, videos and digital handouts, confidential consultations, conflict coaching, informal mediation and facilitated conversations. 

The goal of the Mosaic Leadership Academy is to leverage campus resources to foster knowledge, skills and networks that will support the promotion and retention of diverse members of UWM’s community.

The Mosaic Network consists of a series of events and activities throughout the academic year that are designed to engage UWM employees who identify as Black, Indigenous, Asian and Latinx in the discussion of recruitment, retention, promotion and issues regarding campus culture.

Members of the leadership team provide technical assistance and professional development in these areas: diverse, viewpoints, racial equity capacity building, inclusive teaching, conflict transformation, microaggression, student-focused neurodiversity, community-focused planning, and consultative conversations on a range of topics.

Any member of the campus community can request service via this form:
