UW State Relations

I join many across Madison in mourning the loss of Michael Johnson and reflecting on his incredible legacy as a community leader. He was also a valued partner to UW–Madison and will be deeply missed.

Yesterday in Janesville, I had the opportunity to visit with our partners at JP Cullen and connect with local alumni who continue to champion @UWMadison and the Wisconsin Idea. Thank you for your support and hospitality.🦡

I appreciated the opportunity to visit the @OneidaNationWI Health Center this week and learn more about the collaboration with @uwsmph to advance research, support future health professionals, and improve health outcomes in Native communities.

Thanks to Green Bay mayor and @UWMadison alum @MayorGenrich for stopping by to chat with @uwchancellor this week about ways we can work together to help keep Green Bay a great place to live, work, and play! @WisAlumni

A legendary day this week at Lambeau Field for the Wisconsin Drives Manufacturing Summit! Great to join @uwmadengr and industry leaders like @harleydavidson and @titletowntechgb to discuss the future of Wisconsin manufacturing.

Science Hall has long offered a unique vantage point at the intersection of our urban & natural worlds. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of John & Tashia Morgridge ’55, it will become an even more vibrant home for curiosity, collaboration & discovery.news.wisc.edu/85-2-million-g…
