UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–MILWAUKEE

UW-Milwaukee quietly extended athletic director Amanda Braun’s contract two years with a modest 2 percent pay increase and increased her potential bonuses. Braun was named to the post in early March 2013 and officially took the reins of the department on May 1, 2013. In her tenure on campus, she has helped Milwaukee to new heights and played the lead role in bringing Panther men’s basketball contests back downtown. She also was instrumental in helping the University secure naming rights for UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, the downtown home of Milwaukee men’s basketball. – Scott Paulus, Bizjournals. Read More.
