Introduction
The UW-Milwaukee Athletic Department sponsors 15 intercollegiate sports in which 288 students participate. Through
the sponsorship of a NCAA Division I athletic program, our student-athletes are afforded the opportunity to compete at
the highest level of competition within college athletics. The presence of a highly competitive athletic program enhances
the traditional collegiate experience of the student body and provides a unifying point of public pride for students,
alumni, faculty and the Milwaukee community. Athletics is excited to play a role in transforming UWM into the best place
to live, work and learn. In addition, at a time when UWM is exerting resources and energy to maintain and grow
enrollment, Athletics can be used to extend the brand of UWM. UWM’s successful Panther Athletic programs provides
instant marketing for the University, not only regionally but nationally.

Center for Student Involvement
Eric Jessup-Anger - Director
anger@uwm.edu
Union 363
(414) 229 - 5780
Introduction
The core purpose of Student Involvement is summarized succinctly in our mission and vision statements
found below:
Mission: We work with students to create memorable experiences and connections beyond the classroom
that enrich their lives.
Vision: We aspire to get every student at UWM involved in ways that enhance their college experience.
Student Involvement serves the needs of over 300 student organizations and seeks to connect individual
students to involvement opportunities that will enrich their experience at UWM. To achieve our mission
and vision, we provide individual and organizational development training and workshops, financial
assistance and oversight, program and event advisement, and a variety of operational services for
student organizations. The office is a valuable resource for information regarding university groups and
campus activities. Student Involvement produces a variety of publications, seminars and workshops, and
utilizes PantherSync, an online organizational management system and involvement software that
provides significant support to organizations and encourages individual students to enhance their
involvement, build co-curricular transcripts, and develop electronic portfolios to articulate their learning
to graduate and professional schools and future employers.
We also have a newly expanded website at involvement.uwm.edu in addition to utilizing the UWM App to
stream student focused events from across campus partners directly to the pockets of the UWM
community.
The staff strives to facilitate meaningful student involvement in co-curricular activities with the goal of
creating opportunities for student growth in leadership and personal development. Growth is achieved
via hands-on leadership experiences in their organizations and targeted training opportunities and by
advisors and liaisons promoting reflection on these experiences. With the assumption of responsibility
for leadership programs, we are developing new programs while continuing to provide high quality
workshops, tracks, and series designed to proactively promote student learning, growth, and
development.
In addition to our work with student organizations, we also work with new students and those wishing to
become involved to make a connection with the university. To promote involvement we utilize outreach
efforts, classroom presentations, PantherSync, social media, MAP-Works, and partnerships with
admissions, housing, the Student Success Center and myriad academic advisors across campus.

Introduction
The Northwest Quadrant (NWQ) segregated fees for 2015/2016 fiscal year would remain at $15 per student per
semester. There is a fund reserve due to the credit received from the state loan refinance of the debt service. In addition,
$300,000 of structural improvements were pushed back from the summer of 2014 to 2015, roughly $42,000 of student
payroll was incorrectly omitted from this account. Inflationary cost and increasing cost of fuel did increase the operating
cost, but due to the reserves we are keeping the fees the same. We are exploring adding a 2nd park and ride lot south of
Milwaukee; we hope to use $700,000 from the reserves to fund this operation. In addition to washing, striping, painting,
we are looking to add cameras to this facility.

Introduction
The University Legal Clinic (ULC) is a non-profit service organization for the entire UWM student body. The ULC provides
legal information, advice and notary public services free of charge to any currently enrolled UWM student. We offer
referrals to students if their issue is considered a conflict of interest (cases against the University or another student) as
well as offering this referral service to non-students who approach our office for assistance. Our staff attorney also
participates in the LAWS (lawyers assisting Wisconsin Students) program, which offers discounted (often free) legal
assistance to students in the UW system.
Another area in which we provide service to the students of UWM is in our volunteer paralegal program. Each semester
our office hires and trains 3 to 5 new paralegals. These students come from all majors and schools of UWM. The ULC
provides a great opportunity for students to gain legal experience if they are interested in law school or a future in the
legal profession.
