Lana Platz

FYF Coach
Hi, I'm Lana! I was the first person in my family to attend college, and have worked in higher education for ten years. As a first-generation college student, I had no idea what I was doing and was worried about navigating college alone. The best thing I did to be successful was ask for help. As your Coach, I am committed to helping you accomplish your goals and will be your go-to person to maximize your UW-Milwaukee experience. I am excited to have you join the First-Year Forward Program and can't wait to support you in the great things you'll accomplish as a new Panther.
Outside of the office, I enjoy playing with my dogs, listening to music, and spending time outdoors.
