Presidential candidates came to UWM to make their case before an international audience.<\/p>\n

Faculty pushed the boundaries of human knowledge with cutting edge research.<\/p>\n

Students studied, challenged themselves and found plenty of ways to have fun.<\/p>\n

And all the while, UWM’s photographers captured images from those scenes so that they could be shared, telling the state and beyond about what happens on campus and in the community.<\/p>\n
