Wisconsin Alliance for Minority Participation (WiscAMP):
Transforming Institutional Culture to Support and Sustain Diversity
Current Announcements
The Wisconsin Alliance for Minority Participation (WiscAMP) is a consortium of 21 colleges and universities throughout Wisconsin that aims to increase the number of underrepresented minorities who receive bachelor's degrees in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines within five years. In addition to increasing the number of STEM graduates, WiscAMP is committed to the more fundamental goal of transforming the culture of institutions to support and sustain diversity at all levels.
The 21 member institutions include:
- 13 four-year UW System schools
- 4 private colleges/universities
- 3 technical colleges
- 1 tribal college
WiscAMP also maintains a close working relationship with
Women in Science & Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI). The similarity in missions between WiscAMP and
WISELI, combined with WISELI's pre-existing prominent reputation on the UW-Madison campus and at the UW System level, facilitates
a high level of visibility for WiscAMP.
WiscAMP is part of the NSF-funded Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP), a nation-wide effort to increase the number of underrepresented students achieving STEM discplines and going on to pursue graduate degrees.
