I was thrilled to be invited to give the commencement address at University of Wisconsin-Platteville this past weekend for their College of Liberal Arts and Education graduates. I talked about -- guess what? -- the power of storytelling and the public humanities to change lives, this state, and the... world. It was such fun to be there with WH board member Carrie Van Hallgren, who is the college's Assistant Dean. She and Dean Travis Nelson should be so proud of their students!
We know we keep asking, but this is important! As board member Janet Bewley says, "The public humanities truly bring us together, give us that place to be fully human, and see in each other something that also warms our hearts."
We are raising $10,000 over the next 10 days and ...writing the Next Chapter together! And all donations to the Next Chapter Campaign will be TRIPLED over these 10 days! Thanks to a generous donor AND the Mellon Foundation, every dollar you give right now will be matched 3:1!

Before we head into hibernation, please join us at the Barrymore Theatre for a film screening on May 22nd at 7PM!
We are very happy to partner with The Progressive Magazine to present this special public screening of "When Rubber Hit the Road," a new film by Fireside Productions,... funded in part with a grant from Wisconsin Humanities!
The film tells the story of the departure of the Uniroyal Tire plant from Eau Claire, Wisconsin and a Midwestern city’s attempt to reinvent itself in the wake of America’s manufacturing decline. It airs on PBS Wisconsin on May 20th.
Hear from WH Development Director Tony Sansalone -- who will share the latest about WH and our Next Chapter Campaign -- as well as journalists Norman Stockwell and John Nichols, plus filmmakers B.J. Hollars and Steve Dayton!
Admission $5.00 at the door and donations to the Next Chapter Campaign will be TRIPLED! Thanks to a generous donor AND the Mellon Foundation, every dollar you give right now will be matched 3:1!
