WISCAPE organizes, sponsors, and co-sponsors programs that showcase and promote discussion about the latest postsecondary education issues, trends, and research. The center presents its programs in a wide variety of formats, including half-day and day-long forums; panels of scholars and experts; public lectures; and small, informal noon-hour presentations called brown-bag forums, among others.
Programs are most often free and open to the public, but are occasionally offered by invitation only or with a registration fee. Program materials and media (papers, presentation slides, audio, and video) are made available to the public on the WISCAPE website.
