WISCAPE'S mission is to facilitate and contribute to a dialogue about the challenges facing postsecondary education among education leaders and policymakers, community and government leaders, and other key stakeholders, including researchers, faculty, staff, and administrators. The goal of these exchanges is to increase participants’ understanding of the complex structures and cultures in institutions of postsecondary education, thus improving their decision-making and leadership practices. WISCAPE carries out its mission through research and instruction, conferences and forums, and professional education programs.
