The collective efforts of these UWM alumni, employees, students, parents and friends raised a total of $1,355,783.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c414 for UWM Giving Days was an incredible demonstration of what happens when the UWM community comes together,\u201d said Amy Lensing Tate, assistant vice chancellor for engagement and executive director of the UWM Alumni Association. \u201cThe outpouring of support sends a powerful message about the value of UWM and directly creates opportunities for our students and programs to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">More than 30 donors sponsored challenges that unlocked more than $180,000 in matching funds once specific giving goals were met.

Money raised will go toward dozens of funds to bolster student success, research excellence and community partnerships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">That includes the Panther Pathways Scholarship, which provides unrestricted scholarship funds to undergraduate students based on merit or need. During Giving Days, 194 donors gave nearly $40,000 to support the fund and the students who benefit from it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Donors also supported causes like the Manfred Olson
