On an Urban Hike hosted by Focus Photography Club Hello everybody! My name is Kenzie Hack, and I just wrapped up my First Year here at UWM! I just recently landed the job here at University Housing as a new Outreach Assistant. I'm working over the summer, especially during New Student Orientation (NSO). So incoming first year students, if you see me, don't be shy, say hi! It's been exciting for me to share my passion for UWM's campus with incoming first-year students and get them as pumped for college as I was when I came here.

My favorites on the lineup are, A Day To Remember, DNCE, Bleachers, Jon Bellion, and PVIRS. Brewers game with friehds 2.) Brewers Games  Are you really a Wisconsinite if you don't love the Brewers?

Hello Panthers! As our room assignments will start go ing live, we have some tips for you on how to access and understand the MyHousing screens that contain your assignment information. Step 1: Log onto your my housing webpage. ( www.uwm.edu/housing/myhousing ) This uses your ePantherID and Password. Once you are logged in scroll towards the bottom of the page to see your assignment.  This room is in blue as a hyper link that you can click on. Step 2: Click on your room and another page will also pop up with your suitemates/roommates listed on the page as well. The person with the same letter at the end of their room assignment is your roommate. Everyone else is a suitemate.

When you have a space in Sandburg your assignment will start with a letter that corresponds to a tower in the building. North- N, South- S, East-E, West-W.  In the example above, the assignment starts with an "E" so...
