What a great way to celebrate UW-Madison’s #1 Peace Corps ranking by bringing together our new and returned volunteers for a send-off brunch. Good luck to Badgers heading to Costa Rica, Mongolia, the Philippines, and beyond!

Day of the Badger runs through April 15! We’re supporting the International Student Emergency Assistance Fund, which helps students cover urgent needs like an emergency flight home, glasses, or textbooks during crises. Every bit helps!

What an honor to be on a panel with three of my fellow deans as part of the Kauffman Seminar to discuss our leadership journeys, challenges we face in our positions, and the importance of collaboration to address them!

It's such a pleasure to attend the International Student Welcome and Information Fair at the start of each semester. It provides an opportunity for new and returning students, as well as campus partners, to exchange resources and plan for the semester ahead. On Wisconsin!

[UWInternationalDean @UW_IntlDean]

Congratulations to all the graduates who braved the cold today to attend winter commencement, including student speaker Jeeva Premkumar who served on the International Student Services Advisory Board and is now a proud College of Engineering alum!

[UW–Madison @UWMadison]

As Jeeva Premkumar prepares to address his fellow graduates at Winter 2025 #UWGrad, he's reflecting on the ways he’s been able to make the most of the hands-on opportunities that drew him to Wisconsin.
