Student Affairs at UW-Madison

Last week, employees from across Student Affairs and Residence Life gathered in the Great Hall at Memorial Union to celebrate their colleagues and campus partners during the annual Student Affairs Awards Ceremony and Summer Celebration. 
 
Congratulations to all our award recipients and every team member who helps make a difference year-round. As Vice Chancellor Lori Reesor shared: “As we close out another academic year, know that your efforts — whether they were in the background or at the forefront, acknowledged on stage or not — created the environment for our students to thrive.”

What does “Amor Sin Fronteras” look like?
— It looks like students marching up Bascom Hill with pride.
— It sounds like music and laughter at the Mercadito.
— It feels like connection during Resilient Voices in Silent Spaces.
— It shines in the artwork created alongside Vic Garcia.
 
This Latine Heritage Month, we celebrated love without borders — thanks to the creativity and dedication of the Latine Heritage Month Planning Committee and the phenomenal UW Latine community.

On May 19, the Center for Interfaith Dialogue welcomed leaders from eight different African countries through the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP). As the U.S Department of State’s premier professional exchange program, IVLP aims to connect foreign leaders to their American counterparts to learn from one another and form lasting relationships.
 
The meeting focused on the department’s history and programming as well as the Interfaith Fellows Program and its impact on student participants and the campus community. Guests and staff enjoyed a lively conversation on the joys and challenges of working with students from different religious and spiritual backgrounds. Staff emphasized how much of the program is about creating opportunities for students to learn from each other instead of abstract learning about other religious traditions.

Congratulations to the 2025 Ginsberg Family Award winners! These 10 outstanding seniors were selected from across campus and recognized for their exceptional leadership, service, and scholarship. Their impact extends far beyond the classroom, and their efforts will leave a lasting legacy at University of Wisconsin-Madison and beyond.
