UW System seeks proposals to support and advance the Growth Agenda Action Steps. The 2010-2011 academic year funds will support projects in the following categories:

• Strategies that improve retention and increase degree attainment at the undergraduate level
• Collaboration with PK-12 community to enrich college preparation in the area of Mathematics (Funding for new proposals or equal match of campus funding, up to $50,000, for continuing projects funded in FY2009-10)
• Development of a Student Engagement Portfolio, enabling students to represent curricular and co-curricular activities
• Focus on Inclusive Excellence through expansion of High Impact Practices (learning communities, first-year experiences, capstone experiences, and undergraduate research) targeted at underrepresented students.

If more than two UWW proposals are developed, applications will be reviewed internally by the Academic Development Committee (ADC). The ADC will make recommendations to the Provost, who will select the campus’ proposals to be submitted to System for funding consideration.
