People first. Always.

The challenges facing the world today will not be solved by single fields of study or by scholarship concentrated in a single area of expertise. Our problems are too complex, and the stakes of failure too high. Resolving grand challenges requires a human-centered, ecological approach. Committing to that purpose, the School of Human Ecology prepares students to meet the needs of a changing world.

By giving to the School of Human Ecology Annual Fund, you are fueling progress toward a better tomorrow and investing in these strategic priorities:

  • Increasing paid internship and research opportunities for undergraduates.
  • Meeting moments of innovation with seed funding for new ideas for the public good.
  • Widening access to career counseling, mentor programs and practical skill building to improve student success.

Thanks to the support of people like you, the School of Human Ecology is a hub of innovation and a model of inclusive education — a UW–Madison institution as indispensable as it is transformational.
