Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Currently UWSP has not adopted a set framework for community stakeholder engagement in governance, strategy and operations. This is not to say that some departments work in conjunction with community stake holders.

Although Continuing Education does not have a stakeholder engagement plan, we maintain communications with stakeholders in a variety of ways, depending on the stakeholder group. Some examples…
• The Learning Is Forever (LIFE) program is a member-based program with a board of directors that assess needs and plans educational programs. Two CE staff participate on the board
• Conference services work with conference committees from the sponsoring organizations
• School districts are visited periodically to assess the needs and learning directions they are pursuing, and the programs we offer to their teachers are adapted to the district’s needs
• Professionals in the field are consulted on an as needed basis to provide insights and directions for our offerings to non-traditional learners in those professions
• Employers are involved with appropriate types of programs for their specific types of needs

The CPS has several formal external stakeholder groups (below).
• Business Advisory Council, consists of CEO’s/upper managers of large businesses in the region with representation from each of the major industries. This group provides support and advice to our School of Business and Economics.
• Corporate Partners, consists of upper managers and HR directors of many small to mid-size businesses. Participation on this group is open to any business who has an interest in our School of Business and Economics.
• Clinical Lab Sciences advisory board. Consists of CLS clinicians from throughout Wisconsin that represent our clinical affiliates. This group provides support and advice to our CLS program.
• Health Sciences Advisory Committee, consists of health care professionals from the region. This group provides advice and support to our health care professional programs.
• Dietetics Advisory Board, consists of regional health care and public health officials. This group provides advice and support to our Community Nutrition and Dietetics programs.
• North Central Wisconsin Higher Education Association (NCWHEA) Nursing Workgroup. Consists of program directors and advisors of 2 year and technical colleges in the region. This group provides support and advice on our nursing completion program.
• PK-18 Council, a group of educators and education leaders from the region who provide support and advice to our School of education.
