Strategic Planning
The UW-Madison as the 21st Century Begins
As a public entity and public trust, the University of Wisconsin-Madison can be at its best only when it knows where it has been and where it must go. Planning helps it find its way.
In Connecting Ideas, Chancellor John Wiley explains the priorities contained in the strategic plan.
The strategic plan builds upon a three-year study completed in 1999 that was used for the university's 10-year reaccreditation. That study, titled Targeting Tomorrow, listed five strategic priorities for the coming years: promote research, advance learning, accelerate internationalization, amplify the Wisconsin Idea and nurture human resources.
Prior self-study and planning documents include:
New Directions: The Reaccredition Project - A Self Study (Prepared for the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1999)
A Vision for the Future: Priorities for the UW-Madison in the Next Decade (1995)
