UWM Submits Prospals for the Incentive Grant Program

Mike Lovell and Dave Edwards

Wisconsin's biennial budget included more than $11 million for an incentive grant program for the University of Wisconsin System to distribute in 2013. The grant will be used to develop programs to foster economic development, improve affordability of post secondary education and the development of an educated and skilled workforce.

UW-Milwaukee Chancellor Mike Lovell discusses the six proposals submitted by his campus. Also, Lovell shares an update on UWM's Innovation Campus in Wauwatosa as it continues to take shape and he talks about a student competition designed to foster new business start-ups.
