Wisconsin Vietnam veteran honored at DC ceremony for fallen heroes
When Bruce Wagner returned safely from Vietnam in June 1973, his family celebrated his safe return, not knowing that the danger he faced was still very much a reality. Years later, Wagner’s family mourned his death from a cancer that doctors confirmed was connected to his exposure to Agent Orange.

Wisconsin Campus Closure Approved; Philosophers & Others To Lose Jobs
UW-Milwaukee closed its Washington County campus at the end of the 2023-24 school year, and its Waukesha campus will shutter after the spring 2025 semester.

Enrollment had been declining even before the merger but has accelerated since then.
