Quoted: Q: Since you joined the University of Wisconsin, what has the university done to address the needs of people of color? A: The University of Wisconsin-Madison is a place full of passionate, concerned and motivated men and women who are hopeful for the least of these in this community. My office opened the South Partnership Space in South Madison that allows for programs such as Odyssey, Family Voices, the University of Wisconsin Law School, Dementia, Medical School, partner with the community to offer our resources. Even this past week, I worked with a team, Deb and Shelia, to ensure that teenagers from MMSD, NIP and Verona were given VIP access to the Bryan Stevenson presentation at the University. In partnership with WARF, we started a program called UpStart that allows for entrepreneurship education for men and women of color. [Mitchell is director of community relations.]
