Dear UW–Madison community,

Welcome to the UW–Madison Strategic Visioning feedback survey! Your participation will help inform the Visioning Committee’s recommendations to the chancellor for the university’s next strategic framework.

  • This survey will take you about 15-30 minutes.
  • You can start and stop the survey before you submit it.
  • You may complete the survey during work hours without loss of pay. However, you will not be paid to complete the survey outside of your scheduled work hours.
  • The survey is available in English, Spanish, Hmong, Tibetan, Chinese, and Nepali.
  • Your answers are confidential. We will combine answers from all respondents and will not share answers that might identify you. The UW Survey Center is administering this survey to protect your confidentiality.

Development of Initial Concepts and Recommendations

As you know, Chancellor Mnookin recently convened a Visioning Committee of 31 faculty, staff, students, and alums who were tasked with creating initial concepts and developing recommendations for the university’s next strategic framework. Despite this moment of uncertainty for higher education and UW–Madison, our deep belief in the importance of our mission means it is critical that we plan strategically for our future, even as we continue to respond to the urgency of the moment.

As chairs of the Visioning Committee, we highly value your feedback on the initial concepts the committee has created over the past few months.

You will receive an email with a unique link to take the survey.

We will analyze the survey results during spring 2025 and share the results with UW–Madison leadership.

Thank you for your participation and continued dedication to UW–Madison.

 

On, Wisconsin!
