As Milwaukee’s three largest education institutions serving more than 130,000 students combined, we have the power to transform the future of our community through education.

That is the heart of the mission for M³ (pronounced M-cubed), which Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee Area Technical College, and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee launched publicly two years ago.

In only 24 months, this collaborative effort to create a better K-through-16 education system is already yielding results. More MPS students are graduating, more MPS seniors are completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and more MPS graduates are enrolling in postsecondary education.

We’ve created the M³ Connections newsletter to keep you updated on M³ progress and events. As you will read in the inaugural edition of M³ Connections, we are committed to accelerating this growth and to ensuring MPS graduates are successful students at MATC and UWM.

At our recent two-year impact event, we shared strategies for advancing this important work. Attendees identified tactics they believe have the greatest potential to accelerate progress. Their input – along with ways for you to get involved in this important collaboration – can be found in this newsletter.

We all thank you for your partnership as we develop students into the critical thinkers, strong leaders, and innovators who will help Milwaukee thrive for decades to come.
