Joycelyn Fish
Theatre Arts
“UW-Parkside’s theatre department is built on a company model where everyone learns and engages in all areas of production. That means actors are also helping build sets. Lighting design students appear on stage. Directing students work as assistant stage managers. We all learn side-by-side in the classroom, yes, but where we really connect and bond is in putting a show together.”
Nkozi Knight
Business Administration (MBA)
“I chose to pursue my MBA to enhance my leadership, thinking, and decision-making skills at a high level. UW-Parkside distinguished itself as an institution that enabled me to grow without compromising my commitment to real-world responsibilities. As I’ve always believed, “discipline will take you places motivation never can,” and this journey has been a testament to that principle.”
Radhika Ramesh
Biological Sciences
“The professors are always encouraging us and helping us with any of our endeavors – they are amazing. Whether it’s research or just curiosities about a certain topic, they support your growth as a student. UW-Parkside has really given me the structure to plan for my future endeavors. I hope to continue growing into a physician who listens, observes and adapts.”
