The Universities of Wisconsin enrich local and regional communities with public art galleries, museums, libraries, lectures, concerts, dramatic productions, and culture. UW campuses infuse local communities with their distinctive energy and focus on the future. By integrating service and lifelong learning, applied research, and regional partnerships, the UWs address local challenges and support a strong and vibrant Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service (WIPPS) brings communities together through nonpartisan dialogue, civic engagement, and student‑driven service, helping address local and statewide needs.
