Urban Experience

Are you interested in teaching in an urban setting?  Would you like to broaden your perspective about the education field?

The Urban Experience, offered each Spring through the College of Education and Human Services, would be a great opportunity for you. For over 10 years, Professor Lenore Wineberg has taken more than 110 College of Education and Human Services students to Milwaukee for the Urban Experience.
