The University of Wisconsin–Madison occupies ancestral Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop (day-JOPE)
since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory. Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin. This history of colonization informs our shared future of collaboration and innovation. Today, UW–Madison respects the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation, along with the eleven other First Nations of Wisconsin.

February is Black History Month
|
|
|
Black History Month is a time to intentionally and joyously honor the achievements of Black Americans throughout our nation's history.
At the Center for Pre-Law Advising, we seek to increase access to law school and promote equity and diversity in the legal field with excellent advising, programming, and other career development resources for UW-Madison students and alumni. We strive to support a diverse student body in law every day, but February is an opportunity to specifically highlight the achievements of Black scholars. Please join us in celebrating!
