See UW from a different perspective during Day on Campus

The fall leaves may make the university look different, but it’s the renowned faculty on campus that really offer opportunities to see things differently.

The Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) is once again inviting the public, alumni and friends to take another look at campus by attending Day on Campus on Friday, Nov. 14. This popular program, presented twice a year, offers the chance to learn from prominent UW faculty, mingle among colleagues and explore campus.
