FUTURE PANTHERS ARE ‘MOTIVATED SELF-STARTERS’

Notably, through the generosity of alumni, faculty, and friends of the school, over $1,000,000 in merit- and need-based scholarship support was awarded to Lubar College of Business students in 2022-23. “Without the scholarship… I would have never known what it was like to be a UWM Panther,” one current student says. “Proud of my university and in love with the city of Milwaukee. I would have never had the chance to find a marketing internship, and be on the road to accomplishing my goals.”

What do future Business Panthers look like? The school describes them as “Motivated self-starters. Smart, hard workers. Job ready,” adding: “Choosing the right business school is one of the first steps you’ll take toward building your career. As a major metropolitan business school with great connections to industry, the Lubar College of Business will not only provide you with the opportunity to learn business — but the opportunity to experience business.

“There is so much to look forward to as a future Lubar Business Panther: great friends, business connections, clubs and business student organizations, internships, part-time work, and great support throughout your studies and academic life — from your freshman year through graduation.”
