Inspire
Campaign Priority: Teaching and Mentoring
UW-Whitewater is a national leader in undergraduate research. Many of our students are listed as co-authors with their faculty mentors on research published in major journals.
Professors are the driving force of a great education. They ignite curiosity in the classroom and mentor students in their research, art, professional development and entrepreneurial projects.
Most of our alumni can point to at least one professor who made a difference. Someone who challenged them, coached them, opened professional doors for them and continued to be a mentor after graduation. This makes UW-Whitewater a special place.
Professorships and Faculty Fellowships allow UW-Whitewater to hire faculty who exemplify this commitment to engaging and inspiring students to grow beyond what they thought possible.
