The Rebecca M. Blank Center for Campus History (CCH) seeks to expand and enrich UW–Madison’s historical narrative by centering the voices, experiences, and struggles of marginalized groups.
The Center will expose histories of exclusion and discrimination within the UW–Madison community and center the people who have resisted and continue to resist marginalization. Reckoning with our history is essential to the future of the UW–Madison community. The University’s past cannot be changed, but by confronting our history we can shape the future together. The Center is committed to initiating and supporting a process of reckoning by educating and collaborating with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the wider Madison community.
