Incoming UW chancellor places premium on “belonging”

"I absolutely will bring that set of priorities and values to this new role. I think it’s tremendously important to try to help everybody who’s part of UW Madison feel like they belong, I would emphasize this notion of belonging. We all are, we all are different. We come with different backgrounds, different identities, different characteristics. And we often have multiple identities and characteristics. And so this isn’t even just about race, or ethnicity, or political idea, ideology, or any gender or sexual orientation. It’s not about any one of these things. It’s also about a sense of belonging and feeling like this institution is a place that supports you and where you can feel included. And that’s a set of priorities and values I will absolutely be bringing to this role.”
