The Future of K-12 _at_ UW

• The hope of the K-12 _at_ UW project is that it can
  be expanded statewide to include all system
  institutions.
• The DCG would like to work with future
  contributors from around the UW system to
  incorporate new data.
• This K-12 web database will make the knowledge
  and resources of the UW System (all UW 2- and
  4-year institutions) more accessible to people
  throughout Wisconsin and the nation.
