Research Growth Initiative
The objectives of the RGI are to grow our research by investing in externally evaluated projects from faculty and staff; align research investments with desired research and extramural support outcomes; enhance researcher competitiveness by seed-funding early-stage research projects; stimulate submission of highly competitive proposals to extramural funding sources; and invest in projects that lead to self-sustaining research programs.
Access to Success
This program is our campus blueprint to enhance access to UWM and promote greater student success. The initial goals are to build a pool of diverse, high-achieving applicants, admits and enrolled students; increase first-year retention and performance of all freshmen; decrease the gap in first-year retention and performance between students of color and majority students; and decrease the gap in first-year retention and performance between students placing in remedial courses and those who don't require remedial work.
Council on Inclusion
This council, comprised of faculty, staff, students and governance leadership, is charged with developing a strategic diversity plan with a broad-based support; monitoring our progress toward achieving our Plan 2008 and ensuring that there is accountability along the way; providing recommendations for attracting and retaining faculty and staff of color; and developing a diversity training program for the entire UWM campus.
