Over the past several years, most states, including Wisconsin, have seen a decline in the overall number of prospective college students as the Baby Boom Generation has sent the last of their children off to college.

Recognizing that growth, UW-Milwaukee has announced plans to become a Hispanic-Serving Institution, which will bring new federal funding to the campus. On this edition of UWM Today, meet Alberto Maldonado, who heads up UWM’s Roberto Hernandez Center.
