Madison is a college town (University of Wisconsin-Madison) with a reputation for fun. For two years in a row, Madison has taken the top spot in one national survey for livability.

Noted: Prior to her appointment earlier this year, Timberlake was a partner at Michael Best Strategies, where she advised in areas of public health, health care delivery and healthy community investments.

Noted: Winning an Associated Press sports writing contest at Abbot Pennings High School in De Pere sparked Stanley’s pursuit of a career in journalism, which he studied at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

College is just as afflicted. The other day, I attempted to watch the Wisconsin Badgers defeat the previously-undefeated Maryland Terrapins, and I honestly believe the final two minutes of action took longer than medical school. I’m not kidding: I actually stopped watching the Badger game, and enrolled in medical school at UW-Madison. I’m an orthopedic surgeon now. I’m installing eight new hips on Friday. Sign yourself up.

Noted: Carolyn Yeager, a 1978 Menomonee Falls graduate and valedictorian, went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s degree in computer science from the University of Colorado.

She worked for several technology companies developing custom software. That work helped her earn NASA’s Space Act award in 2006 for work she did for the International Space Station, Yeager’s wall description read.

In 2008, she started a mentoring program for human trafficking survivors after noticing the pain and suffering survivors experienced, as well as the lack of resources available for them. She received the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies’ Outstanding Advocacy and Service Award in 2014.

She also turned her career toward developing software for trauma recovery, according to Yeager’s wall description. Yeager became the first to graduate with a doctorate in trauma psychology from the University of Colorado and received the university’s Outstanding Ph.D Clinical Graduate Student award in 2018.

Laura Yin, who graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 2020 as a mechanical engineer, was less picky during her search than she had anticipated, given all the uncertainty surrounding her pandemic life. Even her salary standard dropped.

Hilarious and surprisingly heartwarming, Big Shot stars John Stamos as Marvyn Korn: an intense, well-decorated basketball coach. During one of his games at the University of Wisconsin, Marvyn flips out and ends up fired. Not only that, but he can’t seem to get hired at the college level anywhere else, either. Instead, he finds himself coaching an all-girls high school basketball team – where he clashes with his new players right away. Big Shot may have a somewhat familiar and predictable sports dramedy formula, but it’s still a fun and feel-good watch.

Noted: Even Aldo Leopold, famed author and former University of Wisconsin professor who is considered by many as the “father” of the field of wildlife management and advocated for increased deer harvests to help prevent deer starving in over-browsed Wisconsin forests, was unable to win that battle.

“The real problem is not how we handle the deer in their emergency,” Leopold told Gordon MacQuarrie, former outdoors editor for the Milwaukee Journal. “The real problem is one of human management.”

Bulltail, an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is here to demand justice for the kind-hearted young woman she helped raise. According to Bulltail, also a member of the Crow Tribe, her family was notified of Stops Pretty Places’ death almost two weeks after her body was found. They waited 16 weeks for an autopsy report and were never interviewed by law enforcement. They have been left to navigate the justice system on their own, she says.

At the University of Wisconsin–Madison, junior Yasmeen Khalid noticed how organizers urged their peers to cast ballots on campus. She saw people distributing brochures that listed all the reasons why individuals should support the Democratic Party, including the fact that they defend the right to an abortion. She feels satisfied with the outcome of elected Wisconsin governor Tony Evans. “I think this is a huge step for protecting abortion rights in Wisconsin.”

Thirty years ago, when Kern Jackson was a graduate student in the African American studies program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he had a “beautiful experience.”

Except for the snow.

“My first experience with real snow,” Jackson said in a phone interview from Mobile, Alabama, where he is a professor and the director of the African American studies program at the University of South Alabama. “There was a snowstorm, and I called the department secretary, and I said, “I can’t make it in to teach because of the snow. I can’t find my car.”

A 1992 graduate of Williams College, Friedberg received an MBA and law degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1996, according to Martindale, a database of legal professionals. Admitted to the bar in Washington state in 1998, and practicing in Seattle, his specialties were securities, banking, partnerships and, later, cryptocurrencies.

Emmett Lockwood, 19, is the first openly transgender athlete on the University of Wisconsin-Madison men’s water polo team and proud of it. But it hasn’t been an easy journey.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin and USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, Kahl got his break in television as an intern at Lorimar, the production company best known for the hit series “Dallas” and “Knot’s Landing.”

In 1996, I took one University of Wisconsin screenwriting class, and that was the extent of my screenwriting education. Beyond that, I’m self-taught.

Noted: Triggiano, a Racine native, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1984 and the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1988.

And when looking at a couple of key counties where young voters make up a big percentage – say, Dane County in Wisconsin, where the University of Wisconsin is, and Center County in Pennsylvania, where Penn State is – those counties went for Democrats, actually, by smaller margins than they did in 2018.

Wisconsin may be the best example of how young people lifted Democrats. In Dane County, home to Madison and the University of Wisconsin, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers won by 174,000 votes ― twice as large as his overall statewide margin of victory.

The founders of the software company Databricks, the electric-scooter company Bird Rides, and the software company Automation Anywhere are the alumni who’ve raised the most capital.

The zoo hosts an annual Zoo Ru with a 5K-10K run/walk. The race starts and finishes in the zoo, and uses portions of the adjacent University of Wisconsin–Madison Arboretum. It is one race/walk that has an incredible view!

That’s certainly a sentiment G. Thomas Tanselle would agree with. As our leading authority on all aspects of bibliography and textual criticism, he often writes highly specialized articles, but that’s not true in the case of “Books in My Life” (Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia). Its centerpiece is “The Living Room: A Memoir,” in which the novels, scholarly nonfiction and journals in Tanselle’s Manhattan apartment, as well as various decorative objects, elicit memories of a happy childhood in Indiana, years as a teacher at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, his long tenure as vice president of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and, above all, the many friends he has made during his career as a “scholar-collector.”

University of Wisconsin-Madison professor Mark Copelovitch blasted Haberman and Baker for the piece. He tweeted, “1. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘the war in Ukraine.’ 2. Beau very well may have died of brain cancer due to Iraq burn pit exposure. 3. ‘More pronounced’…were you not alive in the 1980s/90s/00s to hear Biden?”He continued, saying, “4. Most of them haven’t been gaffes” and added, “5. Grow up.”

The museum said the man believed he was making a mockery of the Nazi Party’s leader when he wore the costume on a busy street near the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus on Saturday. He was fired Tuesday night, after his costume was condemned on social media and by some news outlets, including the Jerusalem Post.
