The UW-W Immigration Specialist will host ongoing workshops to provide general immigration expertise and general assistance to UW-Whitewater international faculty in regard to form I-485 and EB-1 or EB-3 upgrades. This is a special offering for our international faculty, outside the scope of university sponsorship, that is not provided by other UW-System institutions. 

We will also provide essential, non-legal advice for community members seeking assistance with navigating the immigration process. We are currently exploring opportunities for partnerships with other entities in the area as well as offering training and other marketable resources for subject-matter experts in the region.

The workshops will typically be held in English and, if requested, in Spanish; if another language is requested, we will do our best to accommodate. For questions or more information about these services, contact Margaret Wheeler, Esq. at 262-472-1494 or wheelerm@uww.edu. 

MSW students are currently placed in over 50 community agencies, providing support for mental health concerns, addictions, disabilities, health care, domestic violence, corrections, and employment, among other areas.

For more information about the MSW program, contact Sarah Hessenauer at 262-472-1203 or hessenas@uww.edu.

The University will maintain a print shop which will be open to the community and offer a wide-array of print opportunities and services. As the City of Whitewater residents currently do not have access to a business which offers print service opportunities, the UW-W print shop will work to fill that need.  Customers will have convenient access to the shop and staff eager to assist with their printing needs including document printing and copying, brochures, flyers, business cards, and more. For more information, please visit www.uww.edu/adminaffairs/printing, email printservices@uww.edu, or call 262-472-1002.

These areas are considered to be Practicum Labs, therefore instructional, but the intent is for community interface through show development and set-up, gallery shows and viewing times, visiting artist events, such as a drawing or graphic seminar/workshop.  Each space has a glass overhead door that allows views into the space when closed but opens up to allow interaction with others.  The Gallery and Archive provides the opportunity for the permanent collection to be displayed more frequently.

This space is intended for storage rental opportunities. Further exploration is necessary to determine appropriate usage. For more information, please email CEC@uww.edu.
