    Campus Updates: Vandalism Incident, New Admissions Law, Conferences, and Growth at UW–Madison
    2025/09/16
    Good morning, Badgers! It's Monday, September 15, 2025, and welcome to another episode of our campus news podcast. Let's dive into the latest happenings at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. First up, a significant incident occurred on September 12. Several areas of Library Mall, including the Hagenah Fountain, and parts of Bascom Hall were vandalized with red paint. Flyers were also affixed to Bascom Hall. The University Police Department is actively investigating, and cleanup efforts are underway. The university emphasizes that such criminal damage is unacceptable and urges anyone with information to contact the UW–Madison Police Department at (608) 264-2677 or submit tips via the BadgerSAFE app. In academic news, the fall semester is in full swing. Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin welcomed nearly 10,000 new students, including 8,500 freshmen and 1,300 transfer students, along with 144 new faculty members. She highlighted the shared commitment to learning and discovery that unites our campus community. Looking ahead, several notable events are on the horizon. On September 19, the 23rd Annual Update in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias will take place at the Memorial Union's Great Hall. This in-person conference aims to provide the latest insights into Alzheimer's research and care. From September 24 to 27, the Smart Calf Rearing Conference will make its U.S. debut at the Memorial Union. Hosted by UW–Madison in collaboration with international partners, the conference will focus on advancements in calf care, covering health, nutrition, physiology, and welfare. In legislative news, a new law guarantees admission to UW–Madison for Wisconsin high school students graduating in the top 5% of their class. Other UW campuses will admit students in the top 10%. This policy, effective for students entering college in fall 2025, aims to retain top talent within the state. On the financial front, the state budget deal reached in July includes a $240 million increase in funding for the Universities of Wisconsin, averting proposed cuts. The agreement also features $1.3 billion in income tax cuts and plans for prison reform. In campus development, the state Building Commission approved over $29 million in funding for the new engineering building at UW–Madison. The 390,000-square-foot, eight-story facility has a total projected cost of nearly $420 million and is expected to enhance the College of Engineering's capacity and resources. Finally, as we settle into the new academic year, seniors are offering advice to incoming freshmen. They emphasize the importance of staying true to oneself, embracing challenges, and seeking support when needed. Remember, the Badger community is here to support you every step of the way. That's all for today's update. Stay safe, stay engaged, and as always, On, Wisconsin!

    UW–Madison 2025: Campus Safety, New Engineering Dean, Quantum Research, Top 5% Admissions Law & Student Forums
    2025/09/01
    Hello, Badgers! Welcome back to campus for the start of the 2025-2026 academic year. Let's dive into the latest news and updates from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. We begin with a safety update. On Labor Day, a pier on Lake Mendota near the Memorial Union collapsed, resulting in several injuries. One individual was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, while five others received on-site medical attention. The pier is currently closed, and the university is conducting a thorough investigation into the incident. In leadership news, the College of Engineering has appointed Devesh Ranjan as its new dean. Ranjan, a mechanical engineer with extensive experience, becomes the tenth dean of the college. Turning to research, UW–Madison engineers have developed a new technique to map quantum phase diagrams in Weyl semimetals. This advancement could significantly impact the field of quantum materials. On the policy front, Governor Tony Evers signed a bipartisan law requiring UW–Madison to admit all high school students who graduate in the top 5% of their class. This initiative aims to retain top talent within Wisconsin and address workforce shortages. Looking ahead, students are invited to participate in community conversations to help envision UW–Madison’s future. These sessions, scheduled for mid-April, offer a platform to provide feedback on the university's strategic framework. Snacks will be provided, and participants will have a chance to win door prizes. That's all for today's update. Stay safe, stay informed, and as always, On, Wisconsin!
