Managing your digital identity at UW–‍Madison just became more accessible for Spanish-speaking Badgers.

UW–‍Madison Profile—the university’s platform for managing your personal identity information—now offers a Spanish-language interface. This update helps Spanish-speaking students and employees navigate their digital university experience more easily.

The Spanish translation covers almost all of the site, making it easier for Spanish-speaking community members to view, update and manage their personal details, contact information and demographic data.

DoIT Identity & Access Management (IAM) partnered with Cultural Linguistic Services to ensure accurate, culturally appropriate translations to effectively serve UW’s Spanish-speaking community.
