Daniel Okoli took a stroll down the lakeshore path of the UW-Madison campus Thursday and, like so many others, came under its spell.
“I’d want to live here if I were coming to the University of Wisconsin as a student,” he said. “What a wonderful place to walk, meditate and focus your mind.”
Settings and buildings were much on the mind of Okoli, a native of Nigeria with strong Midwestern ties whose appointment as university architect was announced today.
