University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor John Wiley stopped at the Wintergreen Resort Tuesday to offer the UW’s help to the area and answer questions.
The UW still follows the Wisconsin Idea, Wiley said. The Wisconsin Idea was started by UW President Charles Van Hise in 1904 and the principle is that the boundaries and influence of the university should extend to the boundaries of the state and beyond. One way it does that is to provide help to groups, organizations and businesses around the state.
