In Milwaukee, UWM works closely with city government. On the east side, UWM connects with the Third District aldermanic office on quality-of-life issues. UWM also works with city agencies like the Milwaukee Police Department and the Department of Neighborhood Services.
UWM also has city-wide partnerships. We work closely with the entire Common Council and the Office of the Mayor.
UWM also works with aldermanic offices in other districts where we have a presence. This includes the School of Freshwater Sciences, located south of downtown. It also includes the School of Public Health and the School of Continuing Education, both located downtown.
