The Institute of World Affairs is no longer in operation, as of Dec. 17, 2025. The institute served UWM and the Milwaukee community with distinction for many years, providing value through its programs and initiatives. After careful review of UWM’s fiscal priorities and program sustainability, the university made the difficult decision to close the institute.
For the community, UWM continues to prioritize and integrate global perspectives through a range of programs and initiatives, sharing knowledge through public lectures, exhibits and continuing education.
