Students invited to help envision UW–Madison’s future at upcoming community conversations
The following message was sent on April 2 to all UW–Madison students from Provost Charles Isbell, Jr. and Lauren Papp, associate dean for research in the School of Human Ecology.
Dear students,
Over the past few months, a Visioning Committee convened by Chancellor Mnookin has been creating initial concepts to inform recommendations for the university’s next strategic framework. We are excited to share these concepts with the broader campus community and invite you to join us for an in-person community conversation to offer your feedback.
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.
We’re hosting two community conversations specifically for students in mid-April. No special skills or knowledge are needed — we simply want to hear from you based on your experience and perspective. Snacks will be provided, and participants will have a chance to win door prizes!
In each community conversation, a member of the Visioning Committee will present the initial concepts and facilitate a discussion around key questions about them. You’ll have the opportunity to submit feedback both as part of a small discussion group and individually.
Visit the registration page to see the two community conversation options and register for the one that best fits your schedule. Space is limited, so sign up early!
We hope you’ll join us in this unique opportunity to help envision the future of UW–Madison.
Thank you for your participation and continued dedication to UW–Madison.
On, Wisconsin!
Charles Isbell, Jr.
Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
