The project includes remodeling a current building and constructing a new one. The plan The plan calls for the veterinary school to provide $38 million in gifts and the state to contribute $90 million.

A foundation that supports University of Wisconsin-Madison research has given the college’s School of Veterinary Medicine a $15 million gift to jump-start renovations and new construction.

In 2019, summer classes were a part of more than 30 percent of UW-Madison undergraduates’ course load — up 10 percent from last year, university data said.

She is also a talented teacher: we both taught the same Clarion class a few years back and the profound effect she had on our students shone through in their work. In early November, Drawn and Quarterly will publish Making Comics, which anthologizes her teaching exercises and her pedagogical method, honed in her years as an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison art department and at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (it’s a companion volume to her 2014 book Syllabus).

Last August, Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn pledged $100 million to the University of Wisconsin at Madison, promising to build a research campus by 2020 and a facility for the College of Engineering, where the company and UW faculty and students would collaborate on “trailblazing” interdisciplinary research in technology, engineering and the sciences.

UW-Madison is one of only four flagship universities across the nation that is affordable for low-income students, according to a new study.

The University of Wisconsin says it has received just $700,000 of the $100 million that Foxconn Technology Group pledged to fund engineering and innovation research on the school’s flagship campus.

“As technology becomes more pervasive in our world on all levels — from smart devices to algorithms shaping the global flow of information and commerce — it is critical that our university continue to lead in this field,” said UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank.
