Can't Stop a Badger
When COVID-19 dealt a blow to Wisconsin’s health and economy, Badgers stepped up. We began researching new treatments, caring for the sick, and helping others stay safe. UW continues to power the state’s economy through research and innovation, all while educating the next generation of leaders. We’ll never stop working to make Wisconsin — and the world — a better place.
