Jay Rothman

Today was also "Research in the Rotunda," a day where our UW students and their professors come to show off their research projects to legislators in the Capitol. I appreciated chatting with UW President Jay Rothman about the interdisciplinary work it takes to help these students with their projects and prepare them for the workforce. I also truly appreciated Chancellor Corey King going out of his way to stop at my office and chat about my favorite UW campus and all his school is doing. Go Warhawks! 💜🩶

Go Rangers! Today, @uwparkside students joined undergraduates from across the @universitieswi in showcasing their research at the Research in the Rotunda event held at the State Capitol.

Yesterday, #UWSP students participated in the annual Research in the Rotunda down in Madison. Every year, students and faculty get the opportunity to share their research with legislators, regents, faculty members and fellow student researchers! #RITR2026 @UWSPcps @UWSPcols @UWSP_COFAC

Yesterday, a large number of students from the Universities of Wisconsin made a stop at the state Capitol for their annual Research in the Rotunda event. Every year, UW undergraduates come to the statehouse with their faculty advisors to share the findings of their research with legislators, state officials, local alumni and other supporters. While viewing the various displays, I was able to connect with University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point student Nik Pontzloff, whose project focused on the impact of THC and hemp-related products in our local communities. Nik and his team conducted a three-phase assessment at 244 retailers throughout Wood County to look at potential public health implications caused by regulatory gaps. Keep up the great work, Nik.

Mike Graham, UW–Madison Associate Vice Chancellor for Research in the Physical Sciences, spent an inspiring morning @ResearchintheRotunda, a showcase of undergraduate researchers from the Universities of Wisconsin. wisconsin.edu/research-in-th…

Congratulations to each of the student presenters and faculty advisers. I know how much time you put in to develop your research. Thanks for making #RITR2026 such a grand success. 5/5

I encourage you to take a look at the breadth of the research projects that our students presented. wisconsin.edu/research-in-th… 4/

Yesterday I had the opportunity once again to meet undergraduate students from across our 13 public universities and learn about their research projects at our annual Research in the Rotunda event. 1/

The @UniversitiesWI exist to serve the state and one way we do that is helping businesses and manufacturers through these partnerships. 4/

The @Microsoft Co-Innovation Lab at @UWM is one of the most advanced AI labs around and it’s helping businesses across the state, as this story illustrates: jsonline.com/story/money/co…

Nearly 90% of in‑state @UniversitiesWI grads remain here five years after graduation. That’s impact. My thanks to Dr. Nelson, David Minor, and these remarkable alumni for an inspiring conversation. Together, we are #1Million Strong and building Wisconsin’s future. 5/5

Dr. Nelson then moderated an exceptional panel of young Blugold alumni already making a real impact in the Chippewa Valley and across the state. Their stories showed how UW experiences, internships, and mentors helped launch their careers. 4/

What an energizing afternoon in Eau Claire, where nearly 80 people heard an inspiring conversation about the value of a @UWEauClaire degree, hosted by our outstanding partners at the @ecareachamber & HeartWorks. 1/
