Last week, UW–Madison chancellor Jennifer Mnookin paid a visit to the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences for a day of exploration and interaction. Chancellor Mnookin visited a bacteriology lab in the Microbial Sciences Building, toured the D.C. Smith Greenhouse and other CALS buildings, attended a undergraduate poster session, met with the CALS Ambassadors, listened to graduate student flash talks and enjoyed lunch with faculty members.

Take a look at the photos below of the chancellor’s day at CALS.
