Gail Ambrosius Chocolatier would like to congratulate all of the 2013 UW grads with a truffle on us!  Stop by our store at 2086 Atwood Ave. with your diploma cover, graduation program, cap and gown, or a beaming parent to claim your sweet reward! As you move forward to the next stage of life, do not forget the three most important needs: Peace, Love, and Chocolate. Congratulations!

All of the Slow Food UW interns would like to extend our gratitude to you, our supporters, volunteers, followers, and Slow Food enthusiasts for contributing to another successful semester! We could not have achieved the following accomplishments without your dedication, patience, and enthusiasm for the good, clean, fair food mission. We look forward to seeing you again in the fall!

The Dean’s Award of Excellence is presented to the organization that excels in three pillars, Wisconsin Experience, Discovery, and Innovation. Therefore, this organization actively works to incorporate, effective program planning, innovation, leadership service, valued membership, and social justice into their mission and the events and programs they host each year.

In the tradition of the Wisconsin Idea - which declares that education should improve people’s lives beyond the university classroom - fellowships are awarded to projects that enhance student learning while working to solve issues identified by a community.

The South Madison community has traditionally been considered a food desert with limited access to healthy foods. This project will expand and create cooking lessons, meals and gardens at the Boys and Girls Club and Centro Hispano in partnership with the Slow Food and Social Justice initiatives at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Additionally, the project will initiate field trips for Madison’s youth, fostering a better understanding of agriculture and establishing relationships with local growers and producers.
