Evidence assembled for Criteria 2 through 5 illustrates how strategic planning and resource allocation for student learning and effective teaching, research, and engagement flow from and support the University’s mission. In their responses to the accreditation web survey, Deans, administrators, department chairs, program directors, and center directors from across the campus display a consistent understanding of and support for UWM’s mission. Thematically, responses center on advancing UWM’s standing as a public research university; extending the University’s historical commitment to educational access and opportunity; and demonstrating the University’s engagement with Milwaukee and surrounding communities. This shared understanding is also evident in campus publications.
