August 9, 2011 issue of Inside UW-MadisonInside UW–Madison is the university’s new electronic employee newsletter. It will be delivered directly to approximately 27,000 employees, graduate assistants, retirees and campus affiliates every Tuesday and Thursday morning.

Inside UW–Madison will focus on the people who make the university tick, research that is shaping its future, and the many ways in which the university helps make the state of Wisconsin great.

One of Inside UW–Madison’s key goals is to create a stronger sense of community among faculty, academic staff and classified staff.

Along the way, the newsletter will showcase the achievements of employees, link to eye-catching photos and videos, and impart a little “Inside” knowledge gleaned from the campus community.

Best of all, it’s delivered directly to your email address, and it’s a breeze to read.
