More information
The University of Wisconsin–Madison, along with the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association (WFAA), today announced a historic addition to the All Ways Forward campaign. The Raimey-Noland Campaign will provide resources to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts across campus and create a new fund allowing the chancellor to support broad DEI initiatives.
The campaign aims to inspire a new era of giving and honor the past. It is named for the first known African American woman and man to graduate from UW–Madison, Mabel Watson Raimey and William Smith Noland. Both were notable firsts in campus history, and the choice to honor them aims to create a more inclusive future.
The fund will create a permanent umbrella to develop initiatives to support researchers of color and increase diversity in cancer research and patient care
