The fourth annual Posters in the Rotunda event was a huge success -- with 112 poster presentations and more than 165 student participants.  This event could not have been accomplished without the students, the faculty, and the staff working together to make this a reality.

The formal program with UW System President Kevin Reilly, Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton, Sen. Kathleen Vinehout, Rep. Jeff Smith, Rep. John Murtha, and student researcher Lori Scardino provided a good balance of views and "words of wisdom" as the 300+ people gathered in the State Capitol Rotunda learned about the value of Wisconsin's public higher education system and the research on UW campuses. A number of legislators viewed the posters, and were impressed by the efforts by students, advisors, and campus representatives.
