The Wisconsin Union Directorate (WUD) will provide education opportunities on many issues, such as racial justice, during WUD’s first-ever Rise Up Week Oct. 26-30, including some events in collaboration with campus partners. 

WUD invites Rise Up Week participants to add their voices to the events and activities and encourages attendees to use their voices and to take action. 

Rise Up Week will include a variety of events, including a lecture by a political science expert, a film showing, a photography exhibition, and more.

The full lineup is as follows:

“With the most consequential election of our generation around the corner, WUD decided to focus efforts on covering a wide range of topics, including the pandemic as well as racial and social justice,” Wisconsin Union Vice President of External Relations Pradyumna Rao said. “Rise Up Week will serve as a springboard for many of our education efforts that WUD will continue the rest of the year.”

WUD includes 11 student-run committees and six Wisconsin Hoofers clubs that plan, organize and host a wide variety of programs and events.
