OUR COMMITMENT
UW Oshkosh, an institution comprised of three campuses serving a distinctive region of Wisconsin, is committed to meeting the changing needs of the 21st century student, worker and citizen. Foundational to our institution are the ideals of a liberal education, equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), shared governance and sustainability.
With an enduring commitment to access, a liberal education, global citizenship and innovation, our multi-campus culture and infrastructure facilitates an affordable, student-centered, wellness-focused educational journey supported by every member of the UWO community. We envision a future where all students achieve their greatest potential by providing access to success through transformational experiences in and outside of the classroom for undergraduate, graduate and lifelong learners.
Through quality teaching, scholarship and creative activity, service and community engagement UW Oshkosh is positioned to drive and support innovation in and across our region. We aim to serve regional communities, businesses and industries by increasing access to educational programs, meeting market demand, providing expertise and advancing collaborations with our world-renowned faculty and staff.
United in its mission to educate students and serve the region, state, nation and global communities, UWO remains committed to providing support and professional growth opportunities for its employees. We strive to maintain a positive, healthy environment for staff and faculty members based on respect, equity, diversity and inclusion, collaboration and workplace joy.
UW Oshkosh has a strong tradition of shared governance. We believe we should collectively advance a future oriented, active, engaged and inspired process of shared decision making. UWO is committed to the strength of shared governance and believes transparency, collegiality, respect, equity and inclusion are core values in the process.
Home to a nationally recognized commitment to sustainability, UW Oshkosh strives to advance the knowledge and implementation of human, social, economic and environmental sustainability across all levels of the institution. From integrated curricular experiences to cutting-edge research, sustainability is essential to the function, health and success of UW Oshkosh and its students, staff and faculty.
