5-year reviews underway for Engineering and Extension deans

Every five years, UW–Madison deans undergo a comprehensive review to assess their academic and administrative leadership and performance. This year, reviews are underway for Karl Martin, dean of the Division of Extension, and Ian Robertson, dean of the College of Engineering.

Provost Scholz has appointed a committee for conduct each review. Committee members are listed below. There are two ways to provide feedback to the review committees: though an anonymous survey or through an interview with committee members.

Faculty and staff who work in the units under review, and some key stakeholders, received an invitation from the Survey Center on February 6. If you believe you should have received an invitation and did not, please check your spam folder. If you did not receive an email and would like to participate, please fill out this form by February 14, 2023.

If you have questions or need assistance, you may contact Kelly Conforti Rupp (Extension dean review) or Carole Kolb (Engineering dean review).
