It s food cart season, folks!
Vaccinations are rolling out, the winds are warming and, most of all, the food carts downtown are starting to come out of hibernation. Could this be nature healing? Or do Madisonians just have an insatiable hankering for top-notch bites served out of a moving vehicle? We would bet on the latter, but either way, there are stands for snacking on every cuisine imaginable right here in Madison. Here are a few food carts we’re most excited about, new and old, that have opened their windows and turned on their flattop grills for an exciting 2021 season.
Do I still need to wear a mask?
On campus, yes. You may have seen that the CDC announced new guidelines Tuesday for mask wearing. University leaders are reviewing this guidance – any changes to the campus mask requirement will not be made until after the end of the spring semester.
How much longer do I need to test?
Once you’re fully vaccinated, you no longer need to test regularly.Learn more.
If you’ll be on campus this summer and you’re not yet fully vaccinated,
continue testing weekly to maintain your green Badger Badge, as some facilities and programs will require it for entry.

Just over 7,600 students will graduate from the University of Wisconsin–Madison Saturday during two commencement ceremonies at Camp Randall.
As previously announced, these in-person gatherings one for undergraduates, the other for all graduate degree candidates will be limited to graduates only (no guests) because of the ongoing pandemic. The ceremonies will take place rain or shine.
Family members, friends and graduates who are unable to attend are invited to watch a livestream of the ceremonies, among other virtual engagement opportunities, at wisc.edu/commencement. Anyone can offer a free video tribute to a graduate through the Parent and Family Program.

With the COVID-19 global pandemic now in its second year, the nature of classroom experiences at UWâMadison continues to evolve.
In the spring semester, most classes were virtual in deference to the COVID-19 pandemic. But some classes with under 50 students continued in person, including many labs requiring hands-on learning. Some classes had a hybrid model with both virtual and in-person students.
However, all those attending in-person were required to wear face masks and physically distance. In addition, access to all campus buildings required faculty, staff and students to display a green badge on their Safer Badgers app, signifying they are in compliance with required campus COVID-19 testing.
