At UW-Milwaukee, we support inclusivity through various initiatives.
The U1.0: First Gen Initiative helps first-generation students with campus life, while the Lawton Program provides financial aid to need-based minority undergraduates. The DREAMERS Initiative supports undocumented students with resources and professional development. Additionally, the First-Generation+ Resource Center offers programs, services, and workshops for individual participation or office and classroom implementation, serving as diversity training tools.
