The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (also known as UW-Milwaukee, UWM or Milwaukee) is a public research university located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is located in Wisconsin’s largest city and is home to outstanding academic centers, institutes and laboratory facilities, which have worldwide reputations for leadership in research on such areas as architecture and urban planning, business, Great Lakes studies, gravitation and cosmology, fine arts, surface studies, education, nursing and twenty-first century studies. University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is one of the two doctoral granting research institutions in the University of Wisconsin System. Colleges and schools at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee include: The UWM School of Architecture and Urban Planning was ranked among the top twenty by U.S. News and World Report in a recent report. The Key Center for Architectural Sociology ranked UWM’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning 18th in research performance among more than 130 schools in North America. Several Milwaukee County Transit System bus routes provide the campus with easy access to public transportation in Milwaukee. Next to the indoor sports facilities is Chapman Hall and the 11-story Enderis Hall, which houses the College of Health Science, School of Education, School of Information Studies, and the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare. The east side of the North Quad is a group of old red buildings, including Holton Hall, Merrill Hall, Johnston Hall, Sabin Hall, etc. In 1979, the Library was named for Golda Meir, the fourth Prime Minister of Israel, who attended Milwaukee State Normal School, a UWM predecessor institution. West of Bolton Hall is Lubar Hall, home of Sheldon B. His commitment to UWM and higher education spans more than three decades including service as a past president of the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents. Main buildings on the east side of the central quad include Mitchell Hall, sometimes known as “Old Main,” which was the home of the original Milwaukee State Teachers College; The building includes student design studios, classrooms, a lecture hall, exhibition areas, computer labs, offices, a media and photography center, and research centers. In 1885, the Milwaukee State Normal School opened for classes at 18th and Wells in downtown Milwaukee. In 1909, the Milwaukee State Normal School moved from downtown to its current location near the lakefront when a new building, now Mitchell Hall, was completed. In 1927, the Milwaukee State Normal School changed its name to the Milwaukee State Teacher’s College in an effort by the State Normal School Regents to refocus on the instruction of teachers. The Milwaukee State Teacher’s College consequently became Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee, which became part of the then University of Wisconsin 5 years later. University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was founded with the belief that Milwaukee needed a great public university to become a great city. The current University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was established in 1956, as a result of the merger between the old University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee (WSCM). The new university consisted of the WSCM campus near the lakefront and the University of Wisconsin extension at downtown Milwaukee. In the 50 years since adding the Milwaukee campus to the UW System, UWM has expanded to 12 schools and colleges and now offers 84 undergraduate programs, 48 graduate programs and 20 doctoral degrees, with a university-wide focus on academic research, teaching and community service. Since moving up to the Division I level for all NCAA sports in the 1990-91 season, the Milwaukee Panthers have quickly become prominent on the national landscape, particularly in men’s and women’s basketball as well as men’s and women’s soccer (the men’s soccer program has competed at the Division I level since its inception in 1973). Other sports in which Milwaukee competes include baseball, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, and women’s tennis. Sandburg Hall is the largest student residence hall on campus. The second student residence on campus is Purin Hall, on the corner of Downer and Kenwood, a small building that houses approximately 50 students in apartment-style suites. A new residence hall, RiverView Residence Hall, located off campus on North Avenue near Humboldt, is being constructed, and is now expected to open for first-year students in spring of 2008. Musical performances are held in the Bader Concert Hall located in the Zelazo Center or the Recital Hall adjacent to the Arts Center courtyard. To thee we give allegiance, to UWM To thee we turn our hearts and voices UWM To thee we turn our hearts and voices UWM
