Photo gallery Autumn colors grace campus
With campus ablaze in color and a waning number of warm days before winter comes, hardly anyone let a light drizzle stop them from getting outdoors on Oct. 11. From biking to sailing to just reading a book, University of Wisconsin–Madison community members made the most of the beautiful autumn day. The University Communications photo team – three staff and two student photographers — embarked on a mini fall color photography blitz of different parts of campus during the mild and sometimes drizzly October afternoon.
