Madtown sports fans who are also cyclists: best place to park a bike if I need to get to Victory Hall in Camp Randall?
Asking for a me who is taking commencement-marshal training tomorrow and has literally never entered Camp Randall in the 30 years I've lived in this town.

I’m at my first men’s basketball game tonight. I have been to football, hockey, tennis, soccer, and women’s basketball, but never men’s basketball, and I have been around Madison for over 30 years!

I was glad to see Harvard take a stand against the Trump administration, and am now very happy to see so many colleges and universities sign on to this statement about academic freedom:
https://www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-call-for-constructive-engagement
In particular, I'm happy to see several institutions I've worked for or attended there: the University of Wisconsin -- Madison; the University of Puget Sound, and my upcoming Macalester College.
(Hey, University of Minnesota, my PhD institution: you should sign too!)

Maybe its because I grew up in #Wisconsin a state where #hockey is incredibly popular, but there is no #NHL team, but I find #CollegeHockey much more entertaining than the #pros or #Juniors. I grew up a #Badgers fan and even though I didn't want to go to #UWMadison one of my requirements for choosing a school was it had to have #NCAAHockey. I still follow the #NMUwildcats even though they've been awful for years. I also follow the #Minnesota #wild and try to follow the #Flint #Firebirds in the OHL, but when given a choice I'd rather watch some random D3 game than even my beloved Wild. @hockey -

Happy #EngineersWeek! I'm using the week to explore industrial engineering.
Q&A with #UWMadison #ISyE student Ava Schmidt, who was drawn to industrial engineering because she was interested in the consideration of people when designing and improving systems
