Welcome. Here at UWM, we pride ourselves on being an organization that lives its Guiding Values. Following laws, policies, and doing the right thing makes UWM a place where students succeed and people want to work.
Being compliant and ethical is simply how we do things here.
Please take time to learn the compliance and ethical rules that apply to you as well as how to report issues. As a first step, ask your supervisor what compliance and ethics rules apply to you.
