Currently we are waiting for Proponent (SWCS) to sing off on a letter of intent that allows UCACAPOC(A) enter into these agreements. As it stands, this is actually a Proponent function and we're seeking the agreement to move forward on our end with these type of arrangements. I'll keep pushing for the LOI and the COL's I work for are aware and will be pushing the issue.
Dale - has there been any additional movement on this project proposal? I am just coming out of CA Command and would like to get more involved/integrated into my 4E and 6U specialty areas. Can you advise who is currently leading those two sub-groups and/or if you need someone to take on this effort?
Thanks,

(continued) The history of UW programs and collaboration with USACA shows a lot of promise with providing subject matter experts and their expertise to support mission objectives. As a new person to this forum, I am excited to collaborate on next steps for an agreement. Certainly there is a lot more history beyond the relationship, but as an educator, it is important to know more about how the curriculum and experiences prepares potential partners to meet the specific needs in specific areas of operations.
Here is the area that resonated the most with me: (UW and Wisconsin Idea) "One of the longest and deepest traditions at the UW-Madison is the “Wisconsin Idea”, the principle that education should influence people’s lives beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Synonymous with Wisconsin for more than a century, this “Idea” has become the guiding philosophy of university outreach efforts in Wisconsin and throughout the world."
