The mission of the Great World Texts in Wisconsin program is to encourage more high school and university students to read the classic world texts of the humanities and to connect and engage UW faculty and high-school teachers across the state in this project. High school and college classes will participate in these projects throughout the year.

Humanities Exposed (HEX) awards go to University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate students in the humanities to design and implement projects in collaboration with community partners. HEX scholars represent a cross-section of disciplines as they engage diverse members of the public in the exploration, writing, and discussion of ideas.
