Each year UWM at Waukesha presents a lectures and fine arts series featuring faculty experts and professionals who share their knowledge on related topics such as but not limited to, humanities, politics, history and natural sciences. UWM at Waukesha was created in 2018 when UW-Waukesha joined with UWM as part of the University of Wisconsin System's reorganization of the two-year campuses formerly known as UW Colleges. Now students at the Waukesha campus get the benefits of being part of a large research university, including big UWM social events such as Pantherfest and Panther basketball games, while still enjoying a small, friendly college community on their home campus.
We look forward to your attendance at the event.
