Continuing Joe and Vera Zilber’s Legacy
In July 2023, the Zilber Family Foundation presented the (UWM) Joseph J. Zilber College of Public Health with a record-breaking $20 million gift to support faculty excellence and student achievement.
The largest single gift in the history of UWM and one of the largest gifts given to a school of public health across the country, the $20 million commitment will continue to promote health, prevent disease, and advance health equity across the city and state for years to come.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Joseph J. Zilber College of Public Health is Wisconsin’s only accredited college of public health. One of just 56 in the country, the College is a leading institution in advancing population health, health equity, and social and environmental justice throughout Milwaukee, the state of Wisconsin, and beyond.
