  • 2017-18 Calendar & Handbook for Badger Families
    2017–2018 CALENDAR & HANDBOOK FOR BADGER FAMILIES A Welcome from the Chancellor elcome to the UW–Madison family! As the parent Wof an undergraduate student myself, I know well the mixed emotions that come with sending a child off to college. We want to make sure that our young scholars are safe and happy, and that they are learning useful skills. As a parent who may be living apart from your child for the first time, it can be a challenge to know how to help. The Parent and Family Program is your partner in this process. It provides resources, advice, and dialogue on the questions and concerns that are bound to arise during your student’s time on campus. Through special events, timely communications, online chats, and a dynamic website, the Parent and Family Program will help you play a positive role in your student’s academic and personal success. This calendar provides useful information about when students will be focusing on exams, when they’ll be looking forward to the big game, and what’s happening at the university and around Madison the next time you visit them here. The goal is to help you feel connected—as a family—to this wonderful place and all it has to offer. On, Wisconsin! Chancellor Rebecca Blank WISCONSIN WELCOME Dear Badger Family, Welcome to the University of Wisconsin–Madison! You are a valued member of our community. At UW–Madison, we recognize that parents and family members are important partners.
