Thank you! We are grateful for everyone who participated in UW–Madison’s annual day of giving, Day of the Badger, this year held on March 28–29. Together, we raised a total of $19,699 — including two generous matching gifts from the Nelson Institute Board of Visitors and Caterpillar, Inc. — for the Nelson Institute and spread a great deal of Nelson spirit and pride all around the world as well. We appreciate your generous support of the Nelson Institute and all that you do to ensure our continued success!
This year, we put a special Nelson twist on the event … Night of the Badger! Inspired by an edition of The Badger comic — a favorite of Dean Paul Robbins — that takes place in Science Hall and the steam tunnels below, we hosted a social media giveaway to anyone who engaged with our @NelsonInstitute social accounts between 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Congratulations to Cindy Hollenberger, Kelsey Jashinsky, and Corey Otis who participated and won original copies of The Badger, autographed by author and UW alumnus Mike Baron!
