UW-Milwaukee welcomed students back to campus with Fall Welcome, three weeks filled with activities, connection and plenty of fun to kick off the new school year with a bang. From games and tailgates to boat cruises, campfires and more, dozens of events gave students opportunities to make new friends, build memories and explore all that campus and the city have to offer. And the fun isn’t over – Fall Welcome continues through end of September.
Welcome back, Panthers. Here’s to a new year and new possibilities!
