Spring Break in the Residence Halls

Spring break at UW–Madison is March 11–19, and all of the residence halls will remain open throughout spring break if you choose to stay on campus. During this time, desk hours and dining hours will be reduced, so check the schedules so you know when to go. More information is available on parking for those leaving campus, as well as security, staff, and maintenance during the week.

Inclusive Language: Intersection of Disability and Socioeconomic Status

The intersectionality of disability and socioeconomic status of a person or group is a complex relationship that people who experience this may face.

Learn more about the relationship between these two concepts.
