Undergraduates can accomplish extraordinary things if only they get the chance to do so.
The Pathways to Excellence Project has created a series of programs, all described on this web site, which increase such opportunities all across the UW-Madison campus. Its goal is to help students find in themselves the capacity to do things they might not otherwise have thought possible. Because students are different, they discover their passion for learning in different places and ways. No one pathway can serve them all. Too often at large research universities, students become passive learners in an institutional culture designed around the notion that learning is a tablet passed down from professor to student.
