The Wisconsin Sloan Center for Systemic Change, or WiSC2, will be a hub for innovating and leading transformative work for excellence in graduate education at UW. Supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the aim of Systemic Change Centers is to remove entrenched barriers to student success, improve student outcomes, and create educational environments that are more equitable and effective for all.
WiSC2 partners with 11 departments in the College of Letters and Science (L&S) and College of Engineering (CoE), which will engage in a range of tiered training, collaboration on policies related to advancing to PhD candidacy, and mentoring expectations.
