A new program – ROAR Ready – made its debut at UWM with a pair of launch events at the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center.
ROAR Ready is a dynamic learning pathway designed to help K-12 students and their families discover new interests, prepare for college and explore career opportunities.
The events brought together UWM partners, community organizations and high school leaders and students to share program details, collaborate in breakout sessions and strengthen connections that advance UWM’s mission of community engagement and access.
