UWM will offer a free four-week online class starting July 6 entitled Milwaukee: Past, Present, Future.
The course looks at various parts of Milwaukee, centering each theme around a “prominent local feature.” The schedule for the class includes:
- Week One (July 6–10): Great City by a Great Lake: Natural and Built Environments
- Week Two (July 13–17): Made in Milwaukee: Manufacturing, Industry and Labor in the Cream City
- Week Three (July 20–24): Civil Rights Milwaukee: From Turner Hall to the 16th Street Bridge
- Week Four (July 27–31): The City as Museum: Art, Culture and Community in Milwaukee
Taught by UWM instructors, the course will include live virtual lectures on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. (recorded for those who cannot attend), readings and various creative assignments. The course will be administered via the virtual learning platform Canvas.
Anyone with a relationship to UWM is welcome to sign up for the course. Those who are thinking about applying, admitted students, current students, former students, alumni, parents, living in the Milwaukee area or other ties to UWM are able to sign up at no cost.
The first 100 students to enroll in the course received credit for the course, though these spots are filled at this time.
To sign up, visit the course’s website, and any questions regarding the course can be sent to free-class-2020@uwm.edu.
This would be a super cool class! I think so many students like me don’t know why we have the buildings we do and how Milwaukee has transformed!
