After her father died two years ago, Ellen Zweibel received an inheritance. She wasn't quite sure what she would do with it, but the University of Wisconsin-Madison professor knew she would like to help others.

A Great Initiative

The "Great people. Great place." initiative incorporates the two primary campus-wide priorities.

One key concern is retaining and supporting all of our "Great people": the most promising undergraduates, top graduate/professional students and stellar faculty. The East Campus Gateway, based on a century-old classic design, is a second focus. A vibrant pedestrian corridor filled with new and upgraded facilities, outdoor public art and inviting plazas, the Gateway will demonstrate why the UW-Madison was, is and always will be a "Great place."
