The National Office released some stellar photos from their end. Turns out, there were some cheeseheads with Ken Burns! Got lots of other photos from the Opening Ceremonies as well.
Our Senior students presented today and we are thrilled with their work! We have one senior student that will be advancing in final rounds for the documentary category. Michelle will be presenting her documentary tomorrow at 10:45 in Brent at Stamp (Room 2112).
After the final round, the Wisconsin Team Bus will be departing at noon for Washington's Estate and the Nationals baseball game. Today we also had Syndey representing us at the Smithsonian American History Museum with her exhibit, HAIR.
