UW-Madison’s dance department celebrates its one-hundredth anniversary this year. A century of history comes with challenges faced along the way. Much of the department’s success is accredited to innovative contributions by founder Margaret H’Doubler and student dancers.

For more about the Dance Department, host Ellie Huber sat down with campus staff writer Olivia Zimmerman.

In other campus news, UW-Madison hosted ex-NBC News chief Andy Lack to talk opening up civil dialogue among opposing viewpoints, and legislators look to nuclear energy to support state data centers.










Look Good, Feel Good.jpeg
OPINION

Is the ‘look good, feel good’ cliché true?

Looking good does not always mean wearing formal or expensive clothing. It can be as simple as styling your hair, wearing clothes that fit well or choosing an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Small efforts in personal presentation can still have a noticeable impact on how we feel. At the same time, it is important not to place all of our value on appearance. Focusing on how we look should not come at the expense of our character or personal qualities. Instead, caring about our appearance can simply reflect self-respect and confidence.

OPINION

Technological convenience is making it much harder to be a student.

Campus wide technology and interfaces, meant to make students’ lives easier, have only strengthened the expectation that students (and professors) are always “logged on,” and can be communicated with at any point. The harm is not in the fact that students stay up late to turn in assignments, but in that the line between when students are expected to be productive and when they can relax is fading. The cost of the convenience of not having to turn in a paper homework assignment in class is the loss of separation between student’s academic and personal lives.
