Is there a way to facilitate such dialogues \, rather than direct them\, so 1 + 1 >2? Is there a way to capture th e creative ideas that emerge? Last Fall\, the Chaos & Complexity Semin ar engaged in a creative dialogue around a broad question with some pr oductive ideas. On this occasion\, the group is asked to focus more de eply on one of the issues that emerged from the previous dialogue: "Ho w might UW-Madison best engage its resources to meet the challenge of assuring the "Wisconsin Experience" for its students?" The Wisconsin E xperience is intended to result in graduates who have the capacity and commitment to make the world a better place. It is intended to build upon the unique strengths of the UW-Madison community to foster such i deals that have resulted in extraordinary citizens\, global activists and volunteers\, corporate leaders and others with a special sense of social responsibility and an activated\, current sense of the Wisconsi n Idea. My intention in this dialogue is to gain participant reflectio ns on this initiative in its pedagogical\, research\, service\, and cu ltural dimensions. What aspects of this Experience are worth pursuing? Where should resources be emphasized and how might they best be organ ized to do so? For additional information about this important initiat ive from Aaron Brower (Vice-Provost for Teaching and Learning) and Lor i Berquam (Dean of Students)\, please visit: http://www.learning.wisc.edu -- a summary of the ob jectives of the Wisconsin Experience is attached\, as well. Join us fo r fascinating conversation and see what happens! URL:https://www.physics.wisc.edu/events/?id=1457 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
