Work with Purpose. Make an Impact. Grow Your Career.

Since its founding in 1848, this campus has been a catalyst for the extraordinary. As a public land-grant university and major research institution, our students, staff, and faculty engage in a world-class education while solving real-world problems. With public service — or as we call it, the Wisconsin Idea — as our guiding principle, Badgers are creating a better future for everyone.

Among the world’s leading universities, the University of Wisconsin–Madison is distinctive in its scale and breadth, the premium we place on our relevance to society, and our commitment to inclusivity in the broadest sense. The combination of these attributes fully equips us to address the complex problems facing the modern world.

The 2020–2025 strategic framework charts our path forward, building on the success of our past priorities and taking bold steps toward our vision of being a model public university in the 21st century. It preserves our core legacy of research, teaching, and public service and promotes a campus environment where full potential can be met.

The next several years present tremendous opportunities for UW–Madison—and for our impact on the state, nation, and world. We invite you to join us on this journey.
