University Relations and the Alumni Association will sponsor UWM Advocacy Day in the Capitol Wednesday, April 13.
Alumni will join Vice Chancellor Tom Luljak for a round of meetings with state legislators. This is an important part of UWM’s efforts to inform state lawmakers about the vital role the university plays in Wisconsin. UWM employees may attend on their own time.
The day will include UWM undergraduate research students and their faculty mentors at the annual Posters in the Rotunda event.
Students presenting their research will include: Ian Clavel working with Doug Steeber in Biology; Ndeye Drame working with Wail Hassan in Biomedical Science; Brett Fulleylove-Krause working with Jim Moyer in Psychology; Nisrit Pandey working with Ben Church in Materials Engineering; Michelle Soderling working with Carmen Aguilar and Russell Cuhel in Freshwater Science; and Rosetta Washington working with Lucy Mkandawire-Vahlmu in Nursing.
