The ‘Wisconsin Idea’ Is More Important Than Ever In Higher Education

In a nutshell, the Wisconsin Idea, having emanated from the Madison campus, provides “a learning environment in which faculty, staff and students can discover, examine critically, preserve and transmit the knowledge, wisdom and values that will help ensure the survival of this and future generations and improve the quality of life for all. The university seeks to help students to develop an understanding and appreciation for the complex cultural and physical worlds in which they live and to realize their highest potential of intellectual, physical and human development.”
