Pre-law student J\u00e1Sean grew up in Chicago and transferred to UWM excited to make new friends in a new city. He says UWM provided the perfect location and community to do both. He quickly tapped into several of UWM\u2019s nearly 300 student organizations, where he served in leadership roles and took advantage of many ways to get involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUWM\u2019s location is great because it\u2019s in the city and nothing is too far from campus,\u201d J\u00e1Sean says. \u201cMy favorite memory is being a brand ambassador. Being in different photo shoots and representing UWM with other students helped me make friends that I never thought I was going to meet.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\u00e1Sean, a sociology major, often spent time and got advice in UWM\u2019s Black Student Cultural Center. As a Navy Reserve member, he also found support in UWM\u2019s Military and Veterans Resource Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
