The start of the fall semester means welcoming new Badgers to the College of Letters & Science. As part of Welcome Week, L&S students picked up their iconic red T-shirts and wore them on the Terrace. After a record-setting application season, more than 8,500 freshmen enrolled at UW–Madison along with 1,375 new transfer students.
