M\u00b3 (M-Cubed) is all about opening doors of opportunity for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One way that starts is when students get a glimpse of what their future could look like. The M\u00b3 Academic & Career Planning Team, along with other partners from across our three institutions, plans and directs tours of MATC and UWM for all MPS students in ninth and 10th grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These tours give MPS students early exposure to the colleges\u2019 diverse educational settings and career pathways, empowers students to make informed decisions about their future, and fosters a proactive approach to academic and career planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In October and November 2023, more than 900 ninth-grade students from 20 MPS high schools visited and toured UWM\u2019s main campus. They learned about UWM academics, student life, and resources that support success; discussed possible college majors and careers; and heard from a panel of current UWM students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And on March 14, 2024, all four MATC campuses \u2013 Downtown Milwaukee, Mequon, Oak Creek and West Allis \u2013 will offer career exploration to all MPS tenth grade students. There will be sessions in the morning and afternoon. Information about transfer opportunities to four-year colleges will also be provided. MPS students will be able to sign up to hear about specific careers, and MATC faculty and staff will be asked to participate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
