Title III Resources
University of Wisconsin-StoutThe University of Wisconsin-Stout, located in Menomonie, Wisconsin, is a regional university enrolling 7,672 students. UW-Stout is one of the 11 publicly supported comprehensive universities in the University of Wisconsin System. UW-Stout, designated as a special mission institution offers career-oriented programs with strong emphases in technology and experiential learning. This program array is attractive to employers as graduate placement rates are consistently above 95 percent. The campus has an effective strategic planning process that includes enduring goals and their accompanying objectives and action plans. Current goals include improving student retention rates and the assessment of student learning outcomes.
Therefore, UW-Stout received TITLE III funding to support a single activity that will meet the following institutional goals:
1. Improving retention and graduation rates through student services and faculty development. Through career exploration workshops for new students, a suite of on-line academic and career advising tools for all students, and extensive faculty development in advisement and student engagement, UW-Stout can retain a greater percentage of students who begin their college experience at UW-Stout, thereby increasing the number of graduates.
2. Establishing and implemening a system for assessment of student learning outcomes. Through the implementation of electronic portfolios in each undergraduate program and the deployment of course embedded assessment processes, UW-Stout will implement an assessment system that will allow the institution to make valid curricular decisions and systematically improve the teaching and learning process.
