Introducing Bold BW

See differently. See opportunities. See impact.

Bold BW is a campus-wide initiative to empower innovative thinking and transform the work we do with a relentless focus on student success.

This initiative provides BW faculty and staff with a platform to share and develop transformative ideas. It’s our goal to build on the ways we work together to develop an innovation ecosystem, with the practices, resources, and leadership support needed to transform ideas into reality and sustain innovative activity. We encourage you to submit your ideas or work with colleagues to identify solutions to challenges or ways to take advantage of the opportunities you see.
