Wisconsin's Landgrant U at 175: Outlooks for Science Outreach |
|
WN@TL emcee Tom Zinnen will return for his annual sojourn at the lectern with a talk on the outlooks for science outreach at Wisconsin’s two-time land-grant university as we commemorate the 175th anniversary of the founding in 1848 of what today is the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He’ll share some historical perspectives from the Wayback Machine, then focus on changes in places & programs in science outreach since the U’s sesquicentennial celebrations in 1998-99, and provide examples of initiatives & investments in science outreach at some other leading US universities that UW-Madison may want to emulate. He’ll also be happy to hear your view of what his science-outreach colleagues & he might want to do new in the next year or two or few.
