The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is one of the nation’s top campuses for LGBTQ+ students and is currently rated 4.5 stars by Campus Pride as on LGBTQ+ friendly University.
UWM has achieved one of the highest possible scores for fostering a safe and inclusive campus for LGBTQ+ students and their allies. This success is driven by our deep commitment to student experiences, which extends beyond the LGBTQ+ Resource Center.
We actively collaborate with departments across campus to cultivate an affirming and welcoming educational environment for all students. UWM has also been at the forefront of groundbreaking advancements for the LGBTQ+ community.
