UWM Athletics is determined to be one of the top programs in the country. And we're already on our way, thanks to the support of people like you. The generosity of our fans and alumni makes an impact on every aspect of Panther sports, including facilities, team travel, academic support and coaching staff incentives.

There is a lot for Panther supporters to be proud of these days. In the Horizon League, our teams are regularly winning league championships, and their combined success has led us to win the McCafferty Trophy four out of the past six years.

The performance of our teams also extended to the national stage, as our men's basketball, men's soccer and women's soccer teams have all won NCAA Tournament games in recent years. We have also earned a number of national television appearances in men's basketball.

Our success reaches far beyond the field of play. UWM student-athletes often earn a cumulative grade-point average of better than 3.0, and a number of them gain regional and national recognition for academics. In the Horizon League, we consistently place more athletes on the honor roll and all-academic teams than other league institutions, and a number of our student-athletes have won the prestigious Coleman Award for academic and athletic success.

I'm very proud of all the student-athletes, coaches and staff members who play a major role in the successes we enjoy today. But I'm equally proud of people like you - members of our growing circle of donors whose generosity makes these great Panther achievements possible. Again, many thanks.

Sincerely,

Bud K. Haidet
Director of Athletics
