Wisconsin’s longest serving Governor, Tommy G. Thompson (Governor 1987-2001) returned to public life from a successful career in the private sector last Summer to become Interim President of the University of Wisconsin System (UWS). Within 60 days on the job, he was already talking about the need for a more robust commitment to the Wisconsin Idea and offering specific ideas on a broader, even more collaborative role for the UWS. This HeadsUp! Podcast showcases the Governor's vision for online learning and the impact it can make for Wisconsin.
