LET US KNOW!
We want to hear from you!

MEET OUR TEAM!
As many of you know, UW-Parkside’s previous Communications Director John Meilke retired in July. Since then, our Communications Team has gone through a number of additional changes, so we thought now would be a great time to re-introduce the UW-Parkside community to our new team members!
