Fall 2024 Graduates

Please join us in congratulating our Fall 2024 graduates!

Sophia is a former Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellow who will be graduating with honors this December with her undergraduate degree. Sophia is triple majoring in French, Spanish, and LACUSL! She says that she was drawn towards her majors because of her love for diversity and wanting to bridge cultural gaps. During her time at UWM, Sophia believes that LACS 101 had the most impact on her academic journey because it allowed her to explore other perspectives. After graduation, she plans on pursuing the Master in Social Work program at UWM and wants to become a therapist who works with marginalized communities or communities that lack access to therapy services because of language barriers.

Sophia’s says that her advice to younger students is, “Being a successful student is all about finding what works for you… whenever you figure out what works for you: stick to that!” she continues, “It’s really easy to get sucked into the cycle of doing schoolwork, going to work, back to school, and so on, but it’s so important to live your life in between. Make the best of every second because it may not seem like it, but your college years will go by SO fast.”

Graduation for Bachelor & Associate graduates will be held Sunday, December 15, 2024, at the UWM Panther Arena.
