Understanding the Impact of Learning Communities for Institutional Change & Excellence (LCICE): Study of LCICE Programs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Jackie Aman; Piere Washington; Justin Hollis
Wilder Research
In 1998, the University of Wisconsin-Madison began offering learning community opportunities to all UW-Madison staff, faculty, and students. Later on in 2012, the Learning Communities for Institutional Change & Excellence (LCICE) unit formally launched within the Division of Diversity, Equity and Educational Achievement. LCICE offered dialogue- and cohort-based professional learning and development opportunities that engaged participants in equity topics, with the ultimate goal of creating a better campus climate for all community members. This report explores the impacts of two flagship LCICE programs: (1) the Leadership Institute (LI) for faculty, staff, and community members; and (2) Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity (SEED), a 3-credit course for undergraduate students. A mixed-method study was conducted in January 2024 to understand which key ingredients of LCICE programming make a difference, the cumulative impact of LI and SEED over the years on participants and the broader UW-Madison community, and what the opportunities are for LCICE moving forward. The report provides main findings from the study and in-depth information on the methods used. [This report was created with Learning Communities for Institutional Change & Excellence (LCICE).]
