Faculty Associates & Associate Staff
CIAS Faculty Associates and Associate Staff are formally affiliated with CIAS. Their work, practice and/or interests intersect with the mission, vision and goals of CIAS. While most are CALS faculty or staff, our Associates represent colleges and schools across the university. Benefits of being an Associate include invitations to CIAS events, collaboration and networking opportunities, and eligibility of graduate students for the CIAS mini-grant program. While there are no formal requirements for Associates, they are strongly encouraged to attend CIAS Citizens Advisory Council meetings and serve as reviewers for CIAS publications. If you are interested in being a CIAS Associate, please email your CV and a few paragraphs explaining your thoughts on how you might collaborate with CIAS to Michel Wattiaux, CIAS director: wattiaux@wisc.edu.
