U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Matthew Pottenburgh visited UWM on July 16 as part of Navy Week in Milwaukee.
He made two stops at the university to highlight the Navy’s partnership with UWM on educating veterans and in research to advance all-electric ships, visiting UWM’s Center for Sustainable Electrical Energy Systems and the Military and Veterans Resource Center.
UWM is Wisconsin’s top destination campus for student veterans. And the Navy has funded research on electric ships – work that will contribute to a more reliable U.S. electrical grid for everyone.
