Initiatives
Institutional Accreditation
Every ten years the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) conducts a comprehensive review of the university to assure accountability and to improve the quality of higher education. UW-Madison has been continuously accredited since 1913.
Reincorporation of UW Cooperative Extension and Public Media
UW-Madison welcomes back Wisconsin Public Radio, Wisconsin Public Television, UW Cooperative Extension and UW-Extension Conference Centers. Returning these institutions to campus will strengthen our ability to serve communities across the state.
Faculty Cluster Hiring Initiative
The Cluster Hiring Initiative is designed to foster collaborative research, education and outreach that crosses the boundaries of existing academic departments by providing support for interdisciplinary strategic hiring of faculty.
Diversity Framework
UW-Madison's Diversity Framework is a working document conceived to ensure that recommended action steps regarding diversity, inclusion and climate are put into place on campus.
Educational Innovation (EI) Initiative
The mission of EI is to engage and inspire students through enriched learning. The initiative aims to 1) enable personalized learning experiences, at scale, using technology, and 2) expand access for both traditional and new student audiences.
Wisconsin Experience
The Wisconsin Experience is UW-Madison’s vision for the total student experience, which combines learning in and out of the classroom. It is tied to the Wisconsin Idea and steeped in our long-standing institutional values.
