Proposed mission:
The University of Wisconsin-Platteville promotes excellence
across a broad spectrum of disciplines-from STEM programs and criminal
justice to agriculture and the arts. We use a hands-on, personal approach to empower each student to
become broader in perspective, intellectually
more astute, ethically more sensitive and to
contribute wisely as an accomplished professional and knowledgeable citizen
in a diverse global community.
87.85% of the respondents thought that the proposed mission was easy to understand and it was well written.
With over 500 written responses, the biggest concern was that a significant number did not understand what STEM is.
This is an opportunity to provide education internally and externally on the acronym.
