The awards recognize<\/a> Wisconsin businesses and organizations for their success in growing exports and advancing the state\u2019s reputation in international markets. Recognized along with UWM were RBP Chemical Technology of Milwaukee, Imbed Biosciences of Fitchburg and Inpro Corporation of Muskego.<\/p>\n\u201cThese businesses and institutions are making remarkable contributions to Wisconsin\u2019s economy,\u201d said Sam Rikkers, deputy secretary and COO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. \u201cThrough their innovative strategies and dedication to global markets, they are showcasing the expertise, resilience and quality that Wisconsin offers the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
The award citation noted UWM\u2019s status as a public, urban research university and for being one of just two doctoral degree-granting research universities in the state. It also noted that higher education is a significant economic export for Wisconsin, generating nearly $500 million in 2023.<\/p>\n
UWM recorded a 65% increase in international student enrollment between 2021-2023, with students from 81 countries now making up 25.8% of its graduate student body. This growth is driven by UWM’s strategic initiatives and support from the International Student and Scholar Services unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur commitment to fostering global partnerships not only drives innovation and research but also helps position Wisconsin as a premier destination for international students,\u201d said Jennifer Gruenewald, director for international student and scholar services at UWM. \u201cThese students contribute to our economy, enrich our communities, and showcase the excellence of our academic programs. With the support of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, we continue to strengthen Wisconsin\u2019s higher education system, enhancing its value as a global export.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
