Biography

Phyllis Treige most recently served as Associate Vice Chancellor for Experience Strategy and Design at UC Santa Cruz, where she led experience and service design, digital accessibility, strategic communications, and change management as an integrated practice oriented around service delivery and supporting organizational change. Over fifteen years in higher education IT, including eleven years at UW-Madison, she has worked on the stubborn gap between what institutions deliver, even with the best of intentions, and what people actually need, and on the organizational conditions that have to shift for better outcomes to follow. She is returning to the UW this spring as Shared Capabilities Director with WEST.
