Plenty of proud parents walked around the UW–Madison campus with students on Family Weekend, Oct. 12 to 14. Activities included a Wisconsin Welcome party with Babcock ice cream, behind-the-scenes access onto the Camp Randall field and other iconic locations, a special reception with Chancellor Rebecca Blank, a Downtown Madison Cheese Walk, family photo opportunities with Bucky, performances from student music and dance groups, an away-game football watch party and more. The event is organized by the Parent and Family program.
