University of Wisconsin-Madison Visit

On Friday, November 9 MG GOGA Students, Parents, and Staff toured UW-Madison campus. The GOGA group met UW tour guides at the Red Gym where they began the tour walking through campus looking at buildings and landmarks. The group got a feel for what it was like to take a class in a small and large lecture hall. Here the guides answered questions from the group. The group also experienced what a dorm room looked like and ended the tour eating lunch at the Memorial Union. The day closed with a presentation from a panel of UW minority students and Mr. Carlos Reyes; Director of Admissions. The group was enlightened as Mr. Reyes and the UW minority students shared personal challenges and stories from their lives. Although many of them lacked financial resources, support systems, and did not have top grade point averages in high school, it did not stop them from achieveing their dreams and passion of higher education. Excitement, wonder and awe were words used by students, staff and parents to describe the day. Please enjoy the pictures below from the trip:
