Make a GiftThe College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) carries out UW-Madison’s mission as a land-grant public university through excellence in teaching, research and public outreach across 19 academic fields, ranging from production agriculture to natural resources to social sciences to fundamental life sciences. By encouraging collaboration and innovation among these fields, the college helps address problems and create opportunities that affect our food, our environment, our health and our energy future.
At its core, the college fosters communities of expertise – among researchers, faculty and students in cooperation with business, industry and government. It has a rich history of finding practical answers to everyday challenges such as breeding hybrid crops, revitalizing the state’s agricultural markets, and identifying vitamins essential to human health.
Private support helps CALS build on its 125-year tradition to ensure a future of excellence, innovation, accountability and practicality. Working with the CALS development team, the College has identified five funding priorities as it tackles 21st century problems.
- CALS Fund
This fund allows the dean to flexibly respond to unanticipated opportunities, support the infrastructure that advances the college’s mission, assist students and retain world-class faculty.
- Student Experience Fund
The purpose of this fund is to support out-of-classroom experiences for undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. The college seeks to provide broad access to a variety of experiential learning opportunities, from research apprenticeships to hands-on internships to field study programs around the globe.
- CALS QuickStart
CALS QuickStart is a summer-start program designed for incoming first-year students to get an early start to their college career.
