MADISON (WKOW) — With the 2010 Census starting in the next week, UW-Madison officials are asking campus community members to take part.
The results of the 2010 Census will be used to help Madison and Dane County receive a fair share of $400 billion in federal funding. That money can be used for schools, health facilities, transportation and local programs.
“UW-Madison believes that participating in the Census – and supporting Madison and Dane County – is very important,” says University of Wisconsin-Madison Dean of Students Lori Berquam, noting that an all-campus e-mail is going out to students, faculty and staff with Census information.
