25 Upvotes

On November 5th, Wisconsin will vote not just for President, but for Congress, and for state and local offices. Register and vote so you'll have a say in what kind of country America will be!

Register to vote

In Wisconsin, you must register by October 16th if you wish to register online. You can register here: https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/Register-To-Vote

If you miss this deadline, you can also register in person at your Municipal Clerk's office after this date, or at your polling place on Election Day, November 5th.

Voting in person

Wisconsin allows you to vote early through in-person absentee voting. You can go to any of the ten early voting sites in Milwaukee, request an absentee ballot, and vote your ballot on the spot. There's a location on campus, at the Zelazo Center. In-person absentee voting will be available between October 22nd and November 3rd.

If you prefer, you can vote at your polling place on Election Day, November 5th.

When voting in person, be sure to bring an acceptable form of identification.

Voting by mail

Any Wisconsin voter may choose to vote by mail. Apply for an absentee ballot here.

Ballots must be received by November 5th, so mail your ballot back promptly. You can also return your ballot in person to an early voting center (like the one at the Zelazo Center), or any dropbox in the city.

If you mail your ballot, you can track it here.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Roommate to take over my room

1 Upvotes

Currently looking for someone or a couple to join a 2 bedroom apartment in the bay villiage luxury townhouse homes. You would get your own bedroom and bathroom. You would be sharing it with a couple who lives in the other bedroom. The apartment has 2 floors and a finished basement. The apartment has both front and back new patios (put in this year) a washing and dryer machine shared with the 2 roommates in the basement in its own room and a dishwasher and many other kitchen appliances. You would not need to bring any furniture other than for your bedroom! It is a 10 min drive to campus and it sits right on the Estabrook walking trail.

With all of the recent information coming forward about Israel's control over the US government and Zionism, I created a petition to change the name of the Golda Meir Library on campus as she was a proud Zionist who supported genocide in Palestine.

Film and Photography

PSA: outside of the Midwest, everyone will think you went to UW Madison

66 Upvotes

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.

Sublet just blocks from campus!

3 Upvotes

Hey yall, just putting my feelers out for anyone interested in subletting my room. I received a job offer that would be easier for me to relocate, so I am looking for a female tenant who would be interested in a sublet. There are 11 months remaining on the lease it is until next may 2027. I have already paid for July so you wouldn’t need to worry about that!

The rent is $660, shared bathroom with one other and there are 3 other roommates, and a sweet dog who keeps to herself for the most part.

Worried I may need to transfer, desperate for advice

8 Upvotes

Hello, I'm an incoming second year student at uw milwaukee and recently got my cost estimates for the upcoming year. Even with my aid and all federal loans accepted, I will need to pay nearly 10k. I have no idea what to do in this situation as my family is low income (I have a single mother) and I have physical health issues (chronic illness/tissue disorder) as well. I came to UWM for the art ed program specifically. I was in the bridge program last year so I'm assuming that is why tuition was so much cheaper. I've looked into transferring to UW whitewater for a year but can find next to nothing about their art classes or art ed program. I just dont really know what to do or if there are any loan/grant programs available that won't send me 10k into debt or have my family struggling even further. I've gone through all of the college processes alone and am so overwhelmed. I'm struggling to even find a summer job in my hometown. If anyone has any advice or suggestions whatsoever, please let me know. I'm insanely depressed and feel so lost. Edit: I have reached out to my advisor and financial aid advisors. They were ultimately unable to help me and the most I was pointed toward was applying to be an RA, which I cannot even do for the upcoming year.

Why didn’t the school of nursing move into the Northwest Quad?

Random thought I had when browsing pics of the NWQ, why didn’t the school of nursing move into the northwest quad? The old hospital would have been perfect for clinical simulations, especially areas like the PACU, ICU, etc.

My Freshman Year

Post image
16 Upvotes

It's my first year at UWM, obviously. I was wondering a few things, firstly, to any jams students, is this a good schedule, I imagine I'm in the right classes? Is there anything else I should take or swap. My other question is how does joining clubs and groups work? I've been getting into football (soccer) the past year and learning the game, I would like to join a club to play because I'm quite lousy and is there groups for specific teams that I can go to? I was also wondering how is the party scene and how do I get involved in that end? Thanks!
