Symposium Sponsors

Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education (WISCAPE) programs promote interaction among three groups of people who do not typically relate to one another: postsecondary education leaders; researchers who study both educational leadership and issues; and policymakers, such as regents and legislators. These programs are designed to create a dialogue from which will emerge more effective leaders and policies that are aligned with the latest research and best practices.

WISCAPE's mission is to facilitate and contribute to a dialogue about the challenges facing postsecondary education among education leaders and policymakers, community and government leaders, and other key stakeholders, including researchers, faculty, staff, and administrators. The goal of these exchanges is to increase participants' understanding of the complex structures and cultures in institutions of postsecondary education, thus improving their decision-making and leadership practices. WISCAPE carries out its mission through research and instruction, conferences and forums , and professional education.
