Just a reminder to our students, staff and faculty that property left unattended can be targeted by a thief. Theft can be prevented by locking a door or keeping an eye on your property. If you do become a victim of theft, please immediately report it to the UW-Milwaukee Police Department.

With warmer weather on the horizon, many of you will be riding your bicycles to campus. Because a thief with a bolt cutter can easily cut a cable lock, I would recommend investing in a “U” type lock for your bicycle.
