 My name is Alex Francis, and I'm a mechanical engineering graduate student. UWM was appealing to me because of the engineering program, its location, and the athletic department. I discovered undergraduate research, connected well with my professors, and really enjoyed the academic. During my bachelor's, I was a Milwaukee Panther on the cross-country and track teams as an endurance athlete, and I'd like to say I ran through my degree into my master's. I'd recommend students pursue their master's at UWM because of the great faculty that are one research status. We're among the elite universities in the nation like Yale, Harvard, and MIT, and of course the location right near the lake. Get on the road with me to become a Milwaukee engineer.
