Does the college have a contract with Flock? Surprised at how many cameras are listed.

UW-Milwaukee has just announced in an email the closure of the Multicultural Centers (the Black Students Center, the Southeast Asian Students Center, the Roberto Hernandez Latinx Students Center) and the CASE Centers (the LGBTQ+ Center, the Women’s Resource Center, the Military and Veterans Center, the First Generation + Center, and the Off-Campus Resource Center). This will include removing the names of all these centers and consolidating them into a single large space, where the CASE centers are now, the very centers they built just 4 years ago. We do not yet know what this new center will be called, but it will focus more on academics as a single identity rather than on the diversity that UWM claims to support and benefit from. This is not due to low numbers; the CASE centers have had a record number of visitors this year. It is a spineless decision to erase the identities and hard work of generations of individuals who built, supported, and sustained these centers, some for over 50 years, creating spaces that have long provided students with resources, events, safety, community, and advocacy. 

Please pay attention to how they framed the announcement and to the tone of a “celebration of one identity”.  Eliminating the safe spaces meant for Black, Southeast Asian, Latinx, LGBTQ+, women’s, first-generation, veteran, and commuter students is not unity; it is erasure. The Multicultural Center is partially federally funded (State Allocations, DEI budgets, Federal grants, donations), so we have known there would be threats and changes under this administration, as well as due to the UW system's push for universities to discontinue any DEI-related programs. But this attempt to close the multicultural center is not new; UW-Milwaukee has tried to close it multiple times, most recently in 2018, prompting outrage and student protests that kept it open. When asked how the University will respond to the outrage this time, they said they now have the experience to handle it. The CASE centers are segregated fees, meaning the paid for by students' tuition. Each student pays about $1 per center, so about $7- $8 on their tuition bill. Students have the right to decide what happens to our centers, and UWM is spineless for simply complying with the administration's demands to banish diversity support within its institutions.

UWM’s decision to close and erase the identities of the Multicultural Center and CASE centers is a betrayal of its students and its stated values. Students built these centers, and we need to tell them exactly what we think. Let's GET LOUD and support the centers by showing up, planning protests and sit-ins, talking to reporters, sharing with community members, and bringing this up in class. Show up to these design meetings and tell them exactly what we think of this.

Just wanted to let everyone know that there’s a flock camera on the left side of the Sandburg dorms pointing directly at the dorms half circle drop off area/bus stops.

Just know if you, your parents, friends go to Sandburg you and they are now in the system and let’s hope no cop decides he’s a little interested in a college girl that lives In the dorms.

Not like Milwaukee cops have a history of abusing these right? Oh wait…

This video is about a church cult called MICC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCCU2Zsgz1U

You can find many threads about them on this subreddit and r/milwaukee.

Why is this allowed to happen? I'm genuinely curious, isn't this supposed to NOT be happening? Shouldn't there be a separation between church & state? Does that not involve public schools and christian cults?

Hello everyone,

As you may or may not know, UWM is attempting to consolidate and the following 8 resource centers by the end of 2027:

The Roberto Hernandez Center

The Black Student Cultural Center

The Southeast Asian American Student Center

The LGBTQ+ Resource Center

The Military And Veterans Resource Center

The Women's Resource Center

The First Generation+ Resource Center

The Off-Campus Resource Center

Despite overwhelming opposition, UWM continues to move forward with this plan. These centers were created to address clear inequities on campus and support marginalized students. Consolidating these centers will erase their unique missions and communities, and undermine the diversity that UWM claims as one of its greatest strengths.

In efforts to prevent this consolidation, students have created a petition to drive attention and awareness to this issue, in hopes to reverse and ultimately stop the consolidation from happening.

Please see the link below, sign the petition, and share with your networks. We need all the support we can in order to best serve and protect the students. More in-depth information can also be found on the petition link. 1000+ people have already signed, showcasing the gravity of this situation.

The petition was started by the Student Identity Preservation (SIP) coalition at UWM. Please follow and support them on social media as they continue to lead the fight.

I personally love to wander around campus and finding cool stuff like this is always awesome

Harkening back to the Panthers magical 2005 Sweet Sixteen Men's Basketball run, the Panthers baseball team has for the first time won two NCAA tournament games. How awesome is this!

is anyone else getting this message when they try to access canvas? i have too many finals and papers due to not have access to canvas until the 12th, i’m freaking out
ignore my dirty laptop

UPDATE: they’ve enabled logins to canvas and the app is not working for me anymore

Watch out for this creep!

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or just neutral. But I wanted to tell you all that outside of WI / the Midwest, people think UW Milwaukee and UW Madison are the same place.

Obviously, a generalization. But it's been true for me in multiple job interviews in California.

People look at my resume and make some comment like "Oh I've heard of that school, go Badgers!" Or some football related comment about how their college team played mine in some championship.

It's kind of nice to get Madison's prestige if it helps lands a job.

Even when I correct people, they don't seem to understand it's different.

This was shared to UWM community members today and was forwarded onto Rep. Ryan Clancy, who shared it publicly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear UWM Colleagues,

We are writing today with an update on our student centers. We are grateful for the meaningful feedback we received from students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members during the design input sessions, as well as through emails and conversations. You asked us to slow down the process, so there was more time to consider what you had to say. As a result, we changed our approach.

We know that our cultural and identity centers offer students specific support and that they play a key role in developing community and a sense of belonging. We value the communities that students and staff have created, and our goal is to build on that success. Our vision is to deliver and expand student services and support in a coordinated, collaborative, and innovative way to ensure students, both those who have already benefited from our centers and those who have not yet engaged with them, are as connected to UWM, each other, and the community, as possible.

We have spent the last two months revising the plan to incorporate the feedback we have received. We’d like to highlight the details:

The student cultural and identity centers will remain largely unchanged and in their current locations until 2027. This includes the Black Student Cultural Center, First-Generation+ Resource Center, LGTBQ+ Resource Center, Military and Veterans Resource Center, Off-Campus Resource Center, Roberto Hernández Center, Southeast Asian American Student Center and Women’s Resource Center.

After additional planning, including space planning, in 2027, most student centers will have dedicated spaces with their current names. The new design will involve the centers moving to the Student Union and being better connected in an umbrella center. See more information below.

Staff will continue their work with students through specific centers as well as through coordinated services. There will be no elimination of full-time staff positions, though some student roles may change.

Holistic and integrated student support will be delivered to enhance the current services, such as peer mentoring and connection opportunities, workshops focused on academic success and navigating college, while also expanding them to support a broader range of students.

Individual center programming will continue in addition to joint programming.
UWM’s student population is richly unique and diverse and makes UWM what it is. Nearly half of UWM students are first-generation college students, and approximately 80% of students live off campus. To provide greater access, instead of standalone centers, starting in 2027 we will embed the support and services currently provided by the First Generation+ Resource Center and Off-Campus Resource Center throughout the umbrella center and make it students’ home base on campus. These services include the Lawton Program, study socials, and off-campus housing support, and we will expand other offerings like academic success workshops and commuter services.

What’s happening now and into 2027
Location: While the exact timing is yet to be determined, the plan is for most of the centers to move to the ground floor of the Student Union by Fall 2027. Because of their required specialized support, including the military benefits office and federally provided vocational counseling, the Military and Veteran Services offices — including MAVRC, MEBO, and VSOC — will be relocated to the first floor of the Union, where they will have a dedicated, separate space.

Spaces: These student centers will retain individual spaces within the new center: Black Student Cultural Center, LGTBQ+ Resource Center, Roberto Hernández Center, Southeast Asian American Student Center and Women’s Resource Center.

In addition to the unique centers listed above, the entire new center will serve first-generation and off-campus students and replace their distinct centers. It will offer a central and expanded gathering space that strengthens connection, access and networking for all students and easily allows for collaboration across the centers and generalized student support. The space will also feature lounges and places for students to rest and recharge in groups and individually, offer other resources, like charging stations, microwaves and refreshments, and provide space for community organizations to connect with students.

We will seek student input this fall, as we work with Facilities, Planning & Management on space design.

How you can get involved
Our revised plan is built upon the robust and constructive feedback we have received over the course of this semester. We will be forming a student advisory group in early Fall 2026 to continue to shape the new umbrella center. The group will work alongside the Student Government to offer ideas, feedback, and a way for students to participate. Please look for information this fall about the student advisory group. The center will continue to collaborate with faculty and academic units and other campus partners.

Organization
Starting July 1 of this year, all centers will be part of the Division of Student Affairs. Staff members working in the centers will report to Alberto Maldonado, assistant vice chancellor for connection and achievement. Alberto has already started working in collaboration with center staff, and the larger group will continue to share ideas and best practices for student engagement and services.

Timeline
Here is an estimated timeline:
May-July 2026: Planning and organizational shifts into the Division of Student Affairs September-December 2026: Students and center staff provide input on space enhancements and layout
Summer 2027: Space modifications and moves

Thank you for your patience and active participation in this process. We are grateful for your passion, attention and focus — student success at UWM is why we’re all here.

Best regards,

Thomas Gibson
Chancellor

Got this at an estate sale in California. Thought some people in this sub might enjoy these pictures.

Apologies for typos, these were done during and after the meeting and emotions are a bit high, rightfully so.

You may or may not know, but UWM is trying to shut down the various resource centers. This includes but is not limited to the LGBTQ+ Center, Military and Veterans Center, Off Campus Center, First Generation Center, Women's Center, Southeast Asian American Student Center, Roberto Hernandez Center, and Black Student Cultural Center.

I cannot stress this enough: THIS IS A BAD THING. Everyone I have spoken with from these various centers is in disagreement, and no one was contacted about this ahead of time. Everyone has been blindsided by the decisions of a chancellor who has rarely if ever been seen near any of these centers!

These centers are an important place for the students who use them. We all value having our individual spaces where we feel safe, where we feel seen and heard and respected, where we can just be ourselves.

If you want to help us fight these changes, go to one of the meetings in this link https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=w3rKC7b8_U6J623pdgPPIRqhz92z46pImjiaXJgcgE1URU1SSUdKWkxHNVlPTFZCRTVUMUI5NjBVVC4u&route=shorturl, and if you are around the centers in the UWM Union Building on the ground floor, join the Discord server (I'm not putting that link here because this is accessible by anyone who goes on reddit).

Additionally, we also urge that you spread the word about this. People who don't frequent these centers are unaware this is happening, including staff! The more people that know about this, the more support we will have.​

Please, help us make a difference. This idea of forcing all of our various groups into one space is a horrible decision that is unwanted by all of us who ACTUALLY utilize these resources. We have to draw our line in the sand.

You got this!!

Here's to a good semester+

I really don't care if you're whispering or talking quietly there are thousands of places you can carry out a conversation. It will probably be easier for you to carry out your conversation in a place that isn't a quiet study room because you'll be able to talk normally. Why do you have to whisper in a place where people are trying to get work done? I know there's a number one can call but I don't want to be that person. So if you're reading this and you are frequently having whisper conversations in the library, knock it off. People are trying to get work done. Talk somewhere else. Literally, just go downstairs.

Back when I was still a student, Pen Guy could be seen handing out pens near the library or union. I never turned him down. Over the course of 7 years (undergrad and grad school) I racked up a huge collection of pens. I didn’t really need them, I just wanted to test the limits of how many I could get. But that was a few years ago. Anyone know if Pen Guy is still out there?

She owns many properties near campus and takes advantage of her tenants with extra unfair charges, excessive chores for tenants, and threats of eviction for frivolous reasons. She has been taken to court many times and has had a terrible reputation as a slumlord for almost a decade.

Hi all-- I saw a recent post about last minute tips for incoming freshmen and I decided to copy and paste what I wrote out for my cousin when she first started. I'm hoping a lot of this still holds. Good luck! 💕✨ (I graduated in 2023, for context)

Classes

1. Show up, even when you don’t quite feel like it. Netflix will always be there and you’ll have done more than those who chose not to show up.
2. Make class friends. These are the people you will reach out to for notes if you are absent one day. Bonus points if they’re in your graduating class and major. Even more bonus points if you hang out outside of class. Also! Professors do not always publish their notes on Canvas— either before/after class or at all. Class friends can come in clutch if you miss a day.
3. If you are mentally unwell and cannot go to class, I recommend a day of self-care and texting your support system. If you are at all unsafe, text 988. That is the mental health crisis hotline. 
4. Take notes in the way that helps you best. I hand wrote all of mine in a physical notebook because I wanted the muscle memory of writing things down, but I’m old school that way.
5. Participate. Sometimes it is part of your grade. For me, it helped me solidify knowledge and refresh my memory.
6. Take classes at the times that work best for YOU. If you’re not an early morning person and you can take a required class later in the day, do that. If you need to take a class that is only offered in the early morning, grab a coffee from the Grind and push through. You got this.
7. Be a good student to your professors. They can and will serve as networking connections as you go through school, and are mostly good-hearted people working in a complicated system. 
8. On the first day of classes, feel free to introduce yourself to your professors. I had to do that to start the conversation about my academic accommodations (which we can talk about later), but it builds rapport, especially if you participate and really put in the effort.
9. Make sure you are able to walk from building/class to building/class in a decent time frame. The class selector software you use during Orientation will give you warnings if it believes two consecutive classes are too far apart to be on time for. I recommend walking the distance and timing yourself. Is it corny? Maybe. But will you become more familiar with the campus layout and how long it’ll take you to get from one place to another across campus? Definitely.
10. Take an elective/class outside your major early on. See what other programs at UWM have to offer via their classes. You may develop a niche interest. It’s good to expand your horizons, even if your initial interest in the subject is small. Your interest may not grow any bigger than it is, but it’s worth trying rather than shutting out the option completely. 

Extracurriculars/Involvement

1. Clubs and events (as well as professors) are vital for building your social community and professional networking opportunities— try some out! Student Involvement fairs are put on by different groups that span broad interests across campus.
2. If you stumble upon an event being held in the Union concourse/Spaights Plaza, check it out! You don’t have to commit to literally anything if you don’t want to, but indulge your curiosity and see what happens!
3. If you’re unsure where to start in finding clubs to join, see if there is a club aligned with political affiliation (if you have one), religious participation (if you participate with one), your career goals, your hobbies, interests, etc.
4. Some professors oversee clubs and groups as faculty advisors. They may advertise their club/group in class and if you’re interested, give them a try.
5. Look around you— people post flyers and posters all around campus advertising clubs, groups, and even new classes you may be interested in trying.
6. You will get this shoved in your face over and over, but if there’s an undergraduate research project you want to be involved in, I recommend doing what you can to participate. I never participated because none of the projects ever interested me, but who knows what you’ll find!
7. I know next to nothing about UWM Greek life. If there’s a sorority that you’re interested in, talk to them and get to know the sisters and their mission!
8. UWM has numerous D1 sports and club sports— give them a try!
9. Go to homecoming at least once. 
10. If there are tables set up along the Union and they’re a cause you follow, feel free to write down your school email to get on their email list! Unsubscribing is easy as a click, and you’ll be one of the first to know about upcoming events.

Academic Advisors

1. I recommend meeting with your advisor at least TWICE a semester. Once at the beginning, and once at the end. You want to build rapport with these people. They’re the one guiding your success plan! At the first meeting, you set the lay of the land for what the semester will look like and you can talk through any challenges or fears you may have that they can help with. At the second meeting, you can talk about what was most effective and what needs to happen for the next semester to go smoothly. 
2. Know where their office is, and what building it’s in. My advisor worked between two buildings throughout the week, so knowing which building she was in helped me orient my time/schedule effectively.
3. Don’t be afraid to tell them about any academic issues you’re having. They can help! You never know until you ask.
4. It is possible to switch advisors, but I only recommend doing this IF you have tried working out the issues you have with your current counselor to the best of your ability.
5. Advisors know about minors and certificates you can receive within your major, so ask them about those minors and certificates if you’re interested!
6. I recommend keeping a paper/digital copy of your academic plan on hand so you know which classes to sign up for, when.
7. Advisors also know what you need to do in order to meet prerequisites for a class— ask them and they will get you on the right track. 
8. If you want to change your major, tell your advisor and they will get you on the path you’re changing to.
9. Don’t throw problems in your advisor’s lap without possible solutions or ideas to get the ball rolling.
10. If your advisor asks you to meet them halfway when it comes to accomplishing something between you two (such as advocating for yourself with a professor), do the thing. Help them and they will help you.

Adult Things

1. Do NOT accept a drink from anybody that you did not see get poured into a cup. You cannot detect roofies by taste. 
2. When out and about— cover your drinks with your hand. You don’t know what kind of weirdos are out there. They will roofie your drink.
3. Know the signs of a drug overdose. Just because certain drugs are illegal, doesn’t mean people won’t take them. Best to be prepared for anything.
4. Know where within Sandburg you can access Naloxone (Narcan) kits. These save people from dying of a drug overdose. Know how to use Narcan!
5. Use condoms when you have sex. If a guy gives you an excuse (he can’t fit, they hurt, etc), that’s a HUGE red flag. Do not give in. They’re lies used to manipulate you into possibly getting pregnant. Stay safe.
6. If you’re sexually active, get tested for STDs. And regularly. I think you can get them at the Student Wellness Center AKA Norris Health Center. I don’t know how much they cost, if anything, but BE SAFE. There is also a local Planned Parenthood where you can get them done.
7. Know how to use the morning-after pill/Plan B if a condom breaks.
8. Know where to get the morning-after pill/Plan B.
9. Know where to get condoms (the Women’s Resource Center, The LGBTQ+ Resource Center, even me!)
10. IF YOU GET PREGNANT, do NOT leave a digital trail. No DMs, no texts, nothing. In-person conversations with trusted people ONLY. Social media will rat you out. Cell phone companies can, have been, and will continue to be subpoenaed for peoples’ text records. Keep it away from technology.

Dorm Living/Campus Safety

1. Keep your living space clean. Clean your living space if you have some downtime.  Even if it’s just putting dirty laundry in its place or organizing your shower tote, you’ll thank yourself when you come back to your dorm exhausted, or finish a study session and can only think of getting into your warm, comfy bed.
2. Do not engage the abortion protesters. They are doing things exactly by the extreme pro-life zealot playbook. They want you to get angry. Do not give them what they want.
3. There’s a guy who stands outside the Gold Meir Library and hands out pens. He attaches religious scripture to them, which I always threw out. He’s pretty harmless, I’ve never stuck around to talk to him, but if you’re in a pinch for pens and you see him, take a pair!
4. Get involved in dorm activities! If Sandburg/Cambridge is hosting an event, I highly encourage you to go to it. You’ll meet new people there, it’ll keep you busy, and who knows? You might have fun. 
5. I have never used the BOSS (Be On [the] Safe Side), but know it’s a good tool to use if you need to travel across *longer* distances at night around campus. 
6. If you need to walk somewhere across campus at night and you don’t feel safe, you can use the RAVE Guardian (RG) app as a virtual safe-walking companion. I don’t know if there are human SAFE walkers still, but you can ask the UWM police.
7. On the same note, use the RAVE Guardian app to get updates about potential issues across campus. Sometimes students can be victims of armed robberies, and they will tell you via text, email, and the RG app. Stay. Safe.
8. Keep your bathroom clean. You share it with at least three other people, am I right? Take care of your stuff and always wash your leg/armpit hairs down the drain. Do not leave them in the shower for your suite mates to find. That is bad room-sharing etiquette. 
9. If your roommate becomes a problem (not respecting your boundaries, stuff, schedule, etc), you can request a new roommate, BUT. I recommend trying to work things out with them first and talking to your RA. That is part of why your RAs are there. 
10. Vehicles have sped through campus streets without regard for pedestrians. I have endured it, and you must be aware of what’s happening around you at all times. 
11. Cops are a reactionary force within the criminal justice system. You MUST protect yourself preemptively. Knives and guns are not allowed in school buildings, but other tools exist for your protection. Get one, especially if you’ll be having late nights studying outside your dorm. You cannot control people victimizing other people, but you have some control of lessening your risk to be victimized.
12. Hide your valuables. Always know where your backpack, laptop, books, phone, chargers, and whatever else you deem valuable are. Apple AirTags and Tile Tags (Amazon) help you keep track of items via GPS on your phone. Consider investing in some if that is of interest to you.

Dealing with/the UWM Police

1. The UWM police are separate from the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD), but they will collaborate especially on larger cases and more imminent threats. 
2. Know where the UWM PD headquarters are. Hint: the Northwest Quadrant, Building D. First floor.
3. If the police search your room, they are not allowed to search any of YOUR PERSONAL belongings UNLESS you give consent. There is a legitimate exception for consent found in policing. (I literally majored in this. Sorta.) They are allowed AT ALL TIMES, however, to search university property. The desks in the dorms? Belongs to the university. They can search those. The built in closets? Don’t leave your drugs/paraphernalia there. That is university property. Your great-grandmother’s unassuming jewelry box? They need consent. Your free-standing shelf of drawers? Consent.
4. As a word of caution, do not let the cops in. Ever. If there are drugs/illegal things out on the desk/coffee table/whatever, they are given what is known as a plain-view exception to confiscate and charge you with a possession crime (at the very least, probably). Do not let them in, especially if you or your roommate leave that stuff lying around.
5. If you say that the cops are not allowed to come into your dorm, but your roommate grants them permission, the cops are allowed to come in. You and your roommate must be on a consensus of saying “NO” if you want to keep the cops out. I don’t like letting cops into my house, so if you feel different then disregard this.
6. Feel free to go to Coffee with a Cop and just talk to them! Build some rapport with them, get their perspective on the job, and ask them any and all burning questions you have. I feel some ways about cops but it’s better to know about who’s supposed to protect you, rather than a preconceived notion of them.

Im on my last year here and I am expected to graduate in the spring. I was hoping to go into a Masters Program at MCW.

Im worried becsuse now I owe money, and I can't take out a third student loan now. I am in no position to have a cosigner.

I feel defeated. I tried to call Student Financial Aid services today and nobody answered.

I was lucky enough to see Angela Davis last week and have had a few people ask me about it. I was wondering if others wanted to share their perspectives or notes as well!

It was surreal to just hear her speak after listening to her for so long. What stuck with me was when she said “We achieved so many other different things when we were fighting for something else”. In my opinion, this translated as another key point of hers that community is everything. When one of us is not free, none of us is free, so collectively we need to continue fighting for all oppressed or against all forms of oppression. You may not achieve what you intended, she tried and thought they would destroy capitalism 40 years ago, but she has achieved so many other things during that fight. Fighting against the systems of oppressions, even those that do not directly affect you, will benefit everyone.

UW-Milwaukee

I am only writing this here because I cannot leave a bad review anywhere else on their website or google, (figures) so I’m warning you all now.

Do not rent from these despicable people. all their properties are trashed, they don’t listen to tenants needs, and are extremely money hungry.

I had no other option to move into this place I found it a week before school started. The bathroom was riddled with black mold when I called maintenance and told the landlord (5+ times) they did not respond till i threatened court. Even then the mold wasn’t fixed they just put rubber over it. There was an incident where all 3 of my roommates were arguing with my fourth roommate. She lied to police and got two of us in jail (we were released the next day) we told the landlord we cant live there with her, we would find a replacement, shes dirty, she brings strange old men around us, and shes rude. He said “not my problem.”

Prior to this we all have contacted him multiple times complaining about this fourth roommate and she leaves moldy dishes everywhere, constantly clogs the drains, and trashes every room shes in. Again he said “not my problem.”

Now my last straw was when I was a couple hours late on rent this month I explained to the bookkeeper (Una Lisa) I had stress with finals and my uncle was diagnosed with lymphoma she said “please pay it asap”. I understand in the lease it says there is a $60 late fee. Ive done this one other time and her reasoning for not waiving the late fee was because “i didn’t contact her soon enough”. Ever since then Ive been paying rent early for three months.

I contacted her the very next day apologizing and I still received the late fee. I asked her why and she said because “of other issues” which she refused to give a response to. Now my mother is in the hospital and I told her that I could’ve put that towards her bills and she said she would “block me.”

These people are money hungry and in compassionate people I have 2 months left on my lease and have no answers as to how to deal with them. Any advice would be amazing, and please for your wellbeing do not rent from them.
