As a group of university students work on their capstone thesis program this year, the City of Tomah might also benefit from their work.
The Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison recently requested proposals for community-focused undergraduate and graduate thesis projects. Students in the professional program are required to complete a two-semester service learning senior thesis capstone project. In the fall semester, each student will coordinate between the capstone faculty and a steering committee in a community of their choice to develop a project proposal. Earlier this month, Tomah City Administrator Jim Bialecki applied to include the city in the project.
