Photo gallery Movie night at Camp Randall

July 28, 2021

More than 800 university employees and their family members spread out on the Camp Randall Stadium field on July 27 to watch the 2020 film “Dolittle.” The movie night was the second of three Summer 2021 Campus Appreciation Events, to thank employees for all they’ve done through the pandemic. The movie was presented on the stadium’s 101- by 42-foot video board. The event included an appearance by UW–Madison mascot Bucky Badger and opening remarks plus a thank you from Chancellor Rebecca Blank to everyone.
