A shared vision emerges from UW–Madison Reaccreditation Project

by Brian Mattmiller, UW-Madison Communication

The 2009 Reaccreditation Project has reached a critical milestone this month with the completion of six in-depth theme reports that provide a banquet of ideas on how to protect and strengthen the future of UW–Madison.

Beginning Friday, May 9, all six reaccreditation theme reports and an executive summary will be available at Reaccreditation Project.

“I think people are seeing this as an incredible opportunity, enhanced by the upcoming leadership transition, to really rethink what it means to be a great public university in the 21st century,” says reaccreditation director Nancy Mathews, referencing the overall theme of the project.

“Even though we’re overshadowed in some ways by some challenging realities,” Mathews adds, “we’re also overshadowed by a strong sense of optimism: That this is the time to really make some changes and be deliberate about carving out our future.”
