Ƶ is featuring a variety of photos every month to highlight the exceptional learning, work and activities of students, faculty and staff.
While campus is quieter during the summer months, June still brought plenty of activity to Ƶ. From the sounds of the annual community concert and picnic to the energy of summer camps and campus events, there was no shortage of memorable moments.
Take a look back at some of the month’s highlights through the eyes of the staff in University Communications.
Engineering success
A former president of the Milwaukee School of Engineering and longtime leader in engineering and technology education has been named the inaugural dean of Ƶ’s new School of Engineering and Computing.
Dr. John Walz joins Ƶ after nearly a decade helming a private university recognized for its emphasis on experiential learning, strong industry partnerships and workforce preparation.
AI Play
Ƶ hosted its inaugural AI Play summer camp in June for rising middle school students with an interest in the world of artificial intelligence. Thirteen students participated, learning about artificial intelligence while improving their AI literacy.
Summer Concert & Picnic
Ƶ faculty, staff, students and friends came together at the Martin Alumni Center for the annual Summer Concert & Picnic on June 25.
Emancipation Celebration
This summer, Ƶ faculty and staff were invited to engage in meaningful dialogue, reflection and community-building through the Inclusive Excellence Summer Development Series “American Anniversaries: 250 Years, Over 160 Reasons to Heal.”
The series connected two significant milestones in American history — the nation’s 250th anniversary and the 161st anniversary of Juneteenth — through opportunities to explore the ongoing pursuit of freedom, equality and justice.
Together@Ƶ’s Emancipation Celebration invited community members to enjoy a Juneteenth exhibit, music, sweet treats and games while celebrating freedom, resilience and community.
