Welcome to Irving & Dorothy Levy Hall.

@UWMadisonLS’s new home for eight humanities and interpretive social sciences was designed to spark collaboration and create opportunities for generations of Badgers to come.

Glad to welcome @UWMadison Interim Chancellor Dr. Eric Wilcots to the State Capitol. We had a great conversation about UW Madison and its important role in communities across Wisconsin. I’m looking forward to working together to support the future of Wisconsin.

From quantum computing to fusion energy, #UWMadison researchers are tackling some of the biggest challenges and opportunities of our time.

A new $27 million investment from @WARF_News will accelerate discoveries that will help shape Wisconsin and beyond.

Camp Randall has honored veterans since its inception. Yesterday, we renewed that legacy: a new Veterans Memorial Plaza, shaped by veterans across our state. Thank you for joining us, @RepStubbs. Honoring Badgers who've served, and the ones still to come. On, Wisconsin! 🇺🇸

[UW State Relations @StateRelations]

A wonderful, full couple of days at the @wistatefair celebrating Wisconsin agriculture with campus leaders and @UWMadisonExt! @wisconsin4h

[Interim Chancellor Eric M. Wilcots @uwchancellor]

Wisconsin is a national hub for fusion energy, and yesterday it grew stronger. Congrats to @RealtaFusion, a @UWMadison spinoff, on its new HQ in Madison, built on decades of partnering with Badgers on research & a talent pipeline fueling our state's fusion future. On, Wisconsin⚡

[Interim Chancellor Eric M. Wilcots @uwchancellor]

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.

[Interim Chancellor Eric M. Wilcots @uwchancellor]

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

[Interim Chancellor Eric M. Wilcots @uwchancellor]

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.

[Interim Chancellor Eric M. Wilcots @uwchancellor]

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.https://t.co/9xi9ECNTKg
