Photo gallery A heavenly time at Devil’s Lake
On Sept. 24, new University of Wisconsin–Madison transfer students enjoyed a day trip to Devil’s Lake State Park, where they took in stunning views from the park’s 500-foot quartzite bluffs and kayaked on the 360-acre Devil’s Lake. Educators gave lessons on the geographical and Indigenous history of the land. The hungry hikers also enjoyed a cookout in the perfect end to their day. The event was organized by the Transfer Transition Program, which helps transfer students get connected at UW–Madison.
