At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), like many institutions, financial barriers to completion were disproportionately impacting first-generation, low-income, and under-represented minority students. To reduce this and other equity gaps in retention and graduation, UWM joined EAB’s Moon Shot for Equity initiative alongside other southeast Wisconsin institutions. Watch the on-demand webinar to hear about UWM’s progress in closing equity gaps and how Dr. King is using change leadership principles to achieve sustainable transformation at UWM.

We discuss:
  • How UWM aligned completion grant programs with hold resolution initiatives and reduced the red tape around grant distribution
  • 8 tenants of change leadership and how they can be addressed within the Moon Shot for Equity
  • What’s next in Year 2 of the Moon Shot for Southeast Wisconsin
