Executive Committee

The WISCIENCE Executive Committee includes tenured faculty members from across STEM schools, colleges, and departments. The committee provides department level governance for the Integrated Science subject listing, which is housed in the School of Education. The committee also provides advice and guidance regarding WISCIENCE programs and courses, and advocates for WISCIENCE on and beyond campus. Individual committee members serve as WISCIENCE liaisons to their schools, colleges, and departments, and some committee members lead or teach WISCIENCE programs and courses.
