University of Wisconsin-Madison

One of the longest and deepest traditions surrounding the University of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Idea signifies a general principle: that education should influence people’s lives beyond the boundaries of the classroom.

The UW is home to many of today’s top thinkers, researchers, and leaders, who are frequently sought out to help with the nation’s emerging challenges.

UW–Madison's history of collaboration gives us a global perspective on pressing issues facing our world. We recruit the best, and we generously fund projects that seek to improve lives far beyond our borders.
