Jon Strelecki
Tom Luljak and Rodney Swain

2015 is a landmark year in the history of UW-Milwaukee. As Wisconsin’s only urban research university, UWM plays a vital role in our state. At the center of discovery, education and the advancement of knowledge, UW-Milwaukee has a unique role in Wisconsin.

This fall, UWM opened the doors to a new building on the East Side Campus that will aid in that mission of serving the public. The Kenwood Interdisciplinary Research Complex, an $80 million investment by the state, is the home base for an amazing array of academic research.

On this edition of UWM Today, host Tom Luljak talks with Dean Rodney Swain to learn more about this vital facility.

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
