Normally every year, UWM at Waukesha holds an Honors and Scholarship Ceremony in person on an evening in December. It’s a nice banquet with dinner and a great way to honor student accomplishments. This year, however, the ceremony had to be moved online. It was still well attended and it was important to make sure our students feel recognized for all of their hard work. We are so proud to announce our December honors students and scholarship recipients!
Watch the full virtual ceremony here.
