Message to L&S Students from Dean Wilcots,​ December 2020

December 11, 2020

Dear L&S students, 

As fall semester classes have ended and you’re preparing for final exams, I’ve taped a brief video for you to view when you have a couple minutes open.  

You are living through historic challenges and are rising to meet them. While we all wish this semester could have been different, all of us in the College of Letters & Science are incredibly proud of your resilience and what you have achieved. 

And know this: brighter days are coming. While we will still need to practice safety protocols next semester, there will be a light at the end of this tunnel. Stay hopeful and stay connected. Reach out for help when you need it. We are in the home stretch, Badgers. We will finish strong by working together. 

On, Wisconsin!
