UW–Madison students and employees can request up to 10 COVID-19 antigen test kits at no cost at the distribution site at 333 East Campus Mall until 12:30 p.m. on Friday, May 12. UW-Madison’s decision to end the distribution of no-cost antigen test kits at the end of the semester is based on the expiration of the Public Health Emergency on May 11. Test kits continue to be covered by most health insurers; check with your insurer to confirm coverage. Between now and May 12, antigen test kits can be picked up on the ground floor of 333 East Campus Mall. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m.‒4 p.m. (closed for lunch, noon–1 p.m.), and Friday, 9 a.m.‒12:30 p.m. You must show and swipe a valid Wiscard.

Luster will speak on ordinary women who defied the odds and how our lineage gives us strength as individuals and empowers us collectively. Twenty-eight breakout sessions will focus on building influence; engagement, inclusion, and diversity; relationship building; workplace skills; wellness; and more. The registration fee is $100 for UW‒Madison faculty and staff and UW affiliates. Attendance is limited; register soon to secure your participation.
