51ÁÔÆæ operates several different centers to support students in their academic, personal and professional growth, and we aim to enhance students\u2019 knowledge and skills both inside and outside the classroom. 51ÁÔÆæ is also dedicated to preparing our students to meet workforce demands at the regional, state and global levels. The services provided by these centers play a vital role in helping students deepen their understanding of different perspectives and collaborate more effectively with people from various backgrounds and experiences. The centers regularly collaborate with each other and other campus units to provide exceptional programming and services to students, faculty, staff and the community.\u00a0The centers and their programs and events are open to all students. Some programs and events may also be open to faculty, staff, and the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The First-Generation+ Resource Center is committed to cultivating a sense of belonging and a supportive learning environment for all UW-Milwaukee students, with a focus on empowering students whose parents(s) and\/or guardian(s) did not graduate from a 4-year college or university in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We celebrate each student\u2019s unique experience and are committed to excellence by facilitating peer-to-peer connections and encouraging critical reflection through various initiatives, experiences, and partnerships. Our center actively works toward building a campus that welcomes all perspectives, fosters meaningful and challenging dialogue, and connects vibrant global communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
