Channel 3000

UW-Madison will launch the Badger Caregiving Clinic next week, offering free support and resources to address the growing needs of unpaid caregivers.

More than 60 million people nationwide and more than 1 million Wisconsin residents provide unpaid care to a family member or friend, according to the university.

The clinic will bring together UW-Madison students, faculty and staff from social and healthcare programs to provide hands-on support for caregivers.

Hundreds walk, run and bike in Badger Challenge to support cancer research at UW-Madison

NBC 15

Hundreds of people walked, ran and biked in Madison Sunday as part of the 11th annual Badger Challenge, raising money to support cancer research at the University of Wisconsin.

Participants could take part in walking, running and cycling routes, with many joining the event because of their own connections to cancer.

For Jeff Eucker, that connection is deeply personal.

Opinion: How to get UW over the demographic cliff

Wisconsin State Journal

Public higher education in Wisconsin is at a critical point. As with other nations with advanced economies, the U.S. has an aging population and shrinking workforce to serve its older members. Wisconsin is the nation’s 12th most elderly state with a median age of 40.6 years, compared to the U.S. median of 39.1.
