Not sure how to make proper tailgate foods when you are getting pumped up for that Brewer's or Panther Baseball game? No worries, UWM Executive Chef Matt Powers is teaching University Housing residents how to grill savory burgers, brats and other traditional tailgate foods tonight at 7 p.m. in the Sandburg. This class is one of many in a UWM cooking class series aimed at helping students learn how to cook both the Wisconsin classics and the ethnic dishes so they can appreciate the art of independence despite having a conveniently located cafeteria in their building. In the past, Powers and his staff of professional chefs have taught students how to roll sushi, decorate cakes, and the cafe's delicious soups. If students want to remake the recipes they learn at one of these classes, or simply want to whip out one of their homestyle favorites there are several locations within University Housing where residents can cook. All residents in Sandburg East Tower, Purin Hall, and Kenilw...

Future Panthers,  As more of you are continue to fill out your housing contracts, I am sure you are asking my favorite question! "What should I bring when I move into the residence halls?" In my personal opinion, less is always more! You don't need to bring all of you belongings during move-in. Bring what you know you will need, and then determine how much space you really have once both you and your roommate have moved in. You can always bring more items after you move in!! Also you can visit our website  for more information on move-in dates!  Below are some suggested and optional items to bring when you move-in. Suggested Items to Bring Extra-long bedding Alarm clock Clothes hangers Towels & washcloth Bathrobe & shower shoes Toiletries (including toilet paper) Small toiletries container Laundry basket/bag & detergent Coffee mug & dishes Plastic storage containers Umbrella Headphones Flashlight Dry Erase board Cleaning supplies for room Cleaning supplies...
