Campus Update: Finals Prep, Study Abroad Gallery, Sports Highlights & Key Events for December 1–8 at UW-Madison

Hey Bucky Badger, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for December 1 through December 8. Let's get you set for the week—fast. First up—final exams are just around the corner, with the last class day on December 10. Make sure you're on top of your study schedule and reach out to professors if you have any questions. Next—the Study Abroad Photo Contest Gallery is open all week at the Class of 1973 Gallery in the Red Gym. Swing by to see some amazing shots from fellow Badgers' adventures around the world. And—don't miss the School of Nursing Information Session and Building Tour on Monday from 8:45 to 10 a.m. at Signe Skott Cooper Hall. It's a great opportunity if you're considering a career in healthcare. Over the weekend, our men's basketball team had a mixed bag at the Rady Children's Invitational in San Diego. On Thursday, they dominated Providence with a 104-83 win, thanks to Nick Boyd's career-high 36 points. However, on Friday, they fell to TCU 74-63 in the championship game. Meanwhile, women's basketball faced a tough 69-50 loss to James Madison University on Saturday. In football, the Badgers were defeated by Minnesota 24-7 on Saturday. Looking ahead, there are no home games scheduled this week, so it's a good time to catch up on studies and rest up for the next round of action. This Monday, check out the "Small Matter" exhibit at Nancy Nicholas Hall, starting at 10 a.m. It's a fascinating look at the world of textiles and design. Also, the "Problems in Precision Medicine and Genomics" session with Dr. Audrey Gasch is happening from 12 to 1 p.m. at the Genetics-Biotechnology Center Building. For a quick bite, the food trucks on Library Mall are serving up warm comfort food—perfect for these chilly days. This week in Madison, expect mostly cloudy skies with temperatures hovering around the mid-20s to low 30s. There's a chance of snow on Monday and Saturday, so keep your boots and gloves handy. Remember, sidewalks can get slippery, so tread carefully. Your move: if you're planning to graduate this semester, make sure all your paperwork is in order and submitted by the end of this week. Deadlines are approaching fast, and you don't want any last-minute surprises. That's your quick Campus Update. I'm Jenny—catch you next Monday morning.
