The Multicultural Winter Welcome has been a highly successful, mid-semester event designed to welcome newly admitted, returning, and transfer students from diverse backgrounds to UWM in a fun and engaging way. During this annual event, students learn more about support services offered by the Black Student Cultural Center, Roberto Hernandez Center, Southeast Asian Student Center, and the American Indian Student Services offices to help them succeed in school.
We also partner with key organizations on campus that support diverse scholars, such as the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, LGBTQ+ Resource Center, UWM Libraries, WiscAMP STEM-Inspire Program, and the Student Health and Wellness Center, among others. At the Multicultural Winter Welcome, students gain key information from faculty and staff on campus while enjoying cookies and hot chocolate sponsored by local businesses and MCN member offices.
