Chancellor Blank’s Priorities for UW-Madison

Last month, during Homecoming Week, UW-Madison brought together the boards of visitors for nearly all of UW-Madison’s schools, colleges, and departments. Chancellor Rebecca Blank delivered an address to the group.

Chancellor Blank highlights some of the UW’s current points of pride, such as its excellent rankings. She discusses opportunities: an expansion of blended learning, MOOCs, and out-of-classroom experiences. And she also talks about the challenge of maintaining a sustainable financial model in today’s economy.

Most importantly, she lays out the UW’s strategic priorities: faculty support, student support, enhancing the educational experience, and pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
