Every day, photographers at UWM capture the images that help tell the story of the university – its people and its programs, but also its impact.
We’ve been collecting the best photos each week in a gallery that features our photographers’ creativity and imagination.
Our first photo of the week gallery captured the best images from spring and summer of 2024; our second captured late summer and most of the fall semester. Here’s the third gallery, which will take us through much of spring semester.
