A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:
Faculty are encouraged to participate in community service opportunities through the Center for Community-Based Learning, Leadership, and Research (CCBLLR) both on and off campus. Some departments allow “release” time for staff to participate in service, however you must check with your supervisor. Faculty and staff can sign up to help out at the food pantry or at The Gathering. The CCBLLR holds at least one episodic event a month—usually on Saturdays—and we encourage UWM families to join us.

The total number of students is all undergrad and graduate full-time students according to the Fall 2018 Headcount report.
