School Description

Provided by Wisconsin Lutheran College

Christian leadership is what Wisconsin Lutheran College is all about.

Leadership isn't taught at Wisconsin Lutheran. It simply comes with the territory. Professors at the college lead by example. They get to know the students on a personal level and encourage them to accomplish more in and out of the classroom than they ever imagined.

Wisconsin Lutheran is often described as a warm and friendly campus, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Students who choose to attend the college desire a strong and challenging liberal arts program. They expect to be prepared for their future because that is what the college promises when they enroll.

That's Wisconsin Lutheran College's mission, after all; producing well prepared Christian leaders who understand the importance of serving others as they lead.

Wisconsin Lutheran College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Wisconsin Lutheran College is a liberal arts college that is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, with an enrollment of approximately 700 undergraduate students. Its nine-building campus sits on the border of Milwaukee and Wauwatosa, with some buildings in each city. It is routinely rated as one of the top 25 comprehensive liberal arts colleges in the Midwest.

Campus

The Wisconsin Lutheran College campus consists of the Gary Greenfield Administration Building, The Campus Center, the Center for Arts and Performance, the Marvin M. Schwan Library building, the Science Hall, a recreational facility, two dormitories, and several apartment buildings next to the campus that have been purchased by the school.

The Wisconsin Lutheran College Campus administration building, now titled the Gary Greenfield Building, was built in the 1880's under the supervision of noted Milwaukee architect Andrew Eschweiler. It served as the home of a Catholic boys, then girl's school for many years until it was bought by Wisconsin Lutheran College in the early 1980's.

Additions to the campus since the acquisition of the campus have been designed with the intent of blending with the general aesthetic sense of the original building.
