Jon Strelecki
Tom Luljak and Chia Vang

One of the most important measures of a university is how well it serves its students. Not just some of the time… but consistently.

On this edition of UWM Today, meet a member of the UWM faculty who has just been recognized by the UW System Board of Regents for her remarkable work on behalf of Hmong people of Wisconsin.

Chia Vang, associate professor of history, received the Regent’s Diversity Award. The story of how she came to this country and moved into a position to help the Hmong community is remarkable.

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