Wisconsin Idea Conference

This gathering seeks to provide a springboard for community and university collaborations and strengthen the culture of the Wisconsin Idea across UW–Madison. The next conference will be on Monday, April 19, 2027.

Attend the Conference ​ ​
To kick off the school year, our Civic Engagement Intern, Sam Arnold, conducted a Capitol Building Tour, one of the many campus tours taking place at the beginning of the semester, to introduce new students to the rich history and culture existing right in their backyard. These tours educated students on the important operations of the Madison Capitol and allowed them to gain a better understanding of the political system, with the hopes of increasing civic engagement on campus for upcoming elections.
