Come celebrate as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has earned the highest rating for research from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education for a third consecutive time.

The classification, often called R1, places UWM among the world’s leading institutions of research. Just 146 of the 3,298 institutions considered by Carnegie placed in its “highest research activity” category.

Remarks by UWM Chancellor Mark Mone and other campus leaders will begin at noon.
