Athletic Department Charlie Gross, Associate Athletics Director [email protected] Pavilion 151 (414) 229-5669

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 [email protected] 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.

SFC OMNIBUS


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. (Source: 2014 Segregated University Fee Allocation Process Entity Questions, Entity Question #1)

University Legal Clinic Maya Digre – Executive Director [email protected] Union 357 (414) 229 - 4140

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.
