威斯康星大学是一所天主教大学

UIW draws inspiration from a long Judeo-Christian tradition of thinking about doing good in the community. The 10 themes of Catholic Social Teaching summarize that teaching: http://www.cctwincities.org/MajorThemesCatholicSocialTeaching. Non-Catholic students will recognize these values/principles as similar to those inspired by other faith traditions as well as those in faith-neutral documents such as in the 30 Articles of the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
