Plan 2008
APPENDIX I: UW-MADISON AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
The University's outreach efforts are extensive and already making a difference in helping to prepare students and connect our faculty and staff to the outside community. Collaborations between UW-Madison and local communities have given rise to educational, community service, scientific, business, and civil partnerships which are mutually beneficial. Individuals with a key role in these collaborative efforts are recognized for their contributions at an annual Chancellor's reception. The community partnerships named below were selected from those honored at the 1997 and 1998 Chancellor's receptions, and other lists of campus-community partnerships. The tradition of university-community partnerships dates back to the beginnings of this institution. This brief summary does not include many outstanding past and current projects, but is presented only as a sample of the variety of university-community partnerships.
