UWM Athletics is led by Amanda Braun. Amanda is the Director of Athletics, and is the first-ever female to hold this post at UW-Milwaukee. In her tenure on campus, Amanda has helped Milwaukee to new heights, starting by playing the lead role in bringing Panther men’s basketball contests back downtown. She also was instrumental in a new partnership with the Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin, the largest-ever for the department in terms of both length and financial value of the partnership..
