​June 17, 2026

A rainy forecast didn't keep University of Wisconsin-Madison employees away from their fill of Babcock Dairy ice cream. Hundreds filtered into Birge Hall to claim their sweet treat, served by interim chancellor Eric Wilcots, provost John Zumbrunnen and other campus leaders. The annual event, which is typically hosted on Bascom Hill but moved inside due to rain, serves as a gesture of thanks for employees' hard work and dedication during the most recent academic year.
