This past weekend was commencement in Madison. So that’s why you couldn’t get a table at one of the nicer restaurants in Madison if you tried.
Graduates heard a keynote address from Steven Levitan (’84), the creator of Emmy award magnet Modern Family. UW reported that 42,000 people attended the ceremony at Camp Randall “including 7,200 bachelor’s and master’s degree recipients.”
Of course, since it was at Camp Randall, most of the students didn’t really arrive until at least a quarter of the event was already over. Probably.
Numerous Badger athletes earned their degrees including this familiar group.
