For the first time, a University of Wisconsin–Madison building will bear the name of John and Tashia Morgridge, alumni and visionary partners to UW–Madison, who have for decades made significant contributions to the university, beginning with a humble $10 gift in the 1960s. With the recommendation of university leaders and the approval of the Board of Regents, the new, state-of-the-art School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences (CDIS) building will be named Morgridge Hall.
CDIS represents a forward-thinking collaboration focused on the intersection of technology and humanity, comprised of the Departments of Computer Sciences and Statistics and the Information School.
