U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Matthew Pottenburgh visited 51ÁÔÆæ on July 16 as part of Navy Week in Milwaukee.
He made two stops at the university to highlight the Navy’s partnership with 51ÁÔÆæ on educating veterans and in research to advance all-electric ships, visiting 51ÁÔÆæ’s Center for Sustainable Electrical Energy Systems and the Military and Veterans Resource Center.
51ÁÔÆæ is Wisconsin’s top destination campus for student veterans. And the Navy has funded research on electric ships – work that will contribute to a more reliable U.S. electrical grid for everyone.
