UWM Report
UWM students are setting their sights high, and many are turning those dreams into reality even before they don their caps and gowns. Landing full-time positions across Wisconsin, the nation and even the globe, soon-to-be graduates are making their mark early in their careers.
Much of their success can be attributed to hands-on internships, on-campus career fairs, and the invaluable connections built through UWM’s faculty, who are deeply embedded in their industries.
Jacqueline Parra, a Public Health major, is passionate about health education and the promotion of maternal and child health. Committed to driving positive change in underserved communities, she will be working full-time at the Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers after graduation this December.
