More than 100 years ago the concept of “The Wisconsin Idea” came into being, a phrase coined to express our collective values and UW-Madison’s unique commitment to collaborate with the people of Wisconsin, sharing knowledge and resources in order to improve lives everywhere.
To celebrate this important milestone, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has designated 2011-2012 “The Year of The Wisconsin Idea.” In keeping with the spirit of this treasured concept, we invite everyone to engage in a dialog of what the Wisconsin Idea is today, what it means to you, and what it might be in the future. We hope you will take a moment to share your “Wisconsin Idea” story and your personal connection to UW-Madison!
