I am heartbroken by Dean Linda Scott’s sudden passing. Her integrity, leadership, commitment to excellence & wonderful dry humor shaped the School of Nursing & the national nursing community & touched so many lives. Her legacy will endure & she will be dearly missed. nursing.wisc.edu/remembering-...

Such a pleasure to welcome Pulitzer Prize–winning author Percival Everett, our 2025 GoBigRead Author, to @uwmadison.bsky.social. 'James’ brilliantly reimagines Twain’s classic & invites us to reflect on language, history, race & identity in new ways. Thank you, Percival, & thanks to all who joined.

In Beaver Dam Friday, I met Boomer — one of many K-9 officers supported by @uwmadison.bsky.social Vet Med Law Enforcement Support Program. Grateful to Beaver Dam PD for the visit and their service, & to Dean Jon Levine, Rep. Born and Sen. Jagler for backing these vital partnerships across Wisconsin.
