In the late 19th century, two such mastodons were unearthed in southwestern Wisconsin and were purchased for the UW Geology Museum’s permanent collection. Over the course of a century, one mastodon find became Wisconsin’s most famous fossil, while the other was virtually forgotten. In late 2015, this composite skeleton celebrated its 100th year of display in the Geology Museum, and Carrie Eaton unveiled some exciting discoveries regarding its history. Eaton will talk about the rediscovery of a historic specimen, new developments since the story broke, and why its extinction shouldn’t prevent us from learning to love the mastodon.

    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.
