At the next Milwaukee Press Club Newsmaker Luncheon, Carlos Santiago, dean of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, will discuss the future of the school, including his plans to develop a new engineering campus and business park on the Milwaukee County grounds.
The luncheon will take place at noon on Wednesday, Jan. 30, at the Newsroom Pub, 137 E. Wells St., in downtown Milwaukee. The public is invited to attend.
Santiago has raised more than $120 million in private money and has a pledge from philanthropist Michael Cudahy to buy the land needed to build the UWM Innovation Park in Wauwatosa.
Santiago envisions engineers from some of Milwaukee's most vibrant companies working alongside faculty and students from UWM to advance the region's technological capabilities and spur economic development. He is seeking businesses to partner and help fill the 82-acre campus.
The public is invited to attend the luncheon. The cost to attend is $15 for Press Club members, $20 for non-members, $10 for students. Lunch is included. Because seating is limited, pre-registration and advance payment is strongly recommended and may be made online at www.milwaukeepressclub.org.
