    Residential Learning Communities Sponsored by CALS

    Open to students in any school/college

    BioHouse Learning Community

    Bond with other budding scientists! Nurture your passion for the study of living things, whether it’s plants, animals, health, microbiology, evolution, food genetics, or anything biological.

    GreenHouse Learning Community

    GreenHouse is all about living sustainably. With a greenhouse on-site, teaching kitchen, vegetable farm, workshops, community meals, and special events, you’ll develop life-long skills.

    Women in Science and Engineering

    Unite with fellow women interested in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). In this memorable environments, you’ll learn about current research fields and hear from women in all types of STEM professions.

    Trying to make those connections has been an important part of my work and also what GreenHouse helped foster within me.

    Since coming to UW–Madison from Los Angeles, Hamilton has carved out a space for himself at the intersection of South Central Los Angeles food culture and southwestern Wisconsin farms, using food and sustainability as a way to connect to his own roots and encourage reflection and action in others.

    You get to meet so many different people who are doing research here, and it gives you lots of opportunities to join them.
