Campus Resources and Referrals is your monthly backstage pass to UW–Madison’s student support network—perfect for new staff in advising, career services, and learning support, but open to everyone in our communities! Each session brings you face-to-face with key campus office staff—from University Health Services to the McBurney Center—who’ll share tips on how and when to refer students for the assistance they need. It’s a great way to build your campus know-how, grow your professional network, and learn the best ways to support students holistically.
