Roundtable lunch series program set for fall
The 1998 UW Roundtable faculty/staff luncheon series will focus on the university’s past, present and future as part of the UW–Madison sesquicentennial celebration.
Professor Louise Robbins, director of the School of Library and Information Studies and co-chair of the Roundtable series, says the topics are particularly relevant given the great tradition of the Wisconsin Idea of the university in service to Wisconsin, and in exploring what the university will look like in the future to ensure that tradition.
