Look, a Big Badger!

During the 2026 new faculty picnic, UW–Madison’s top ambassador welcomes two new Badgers to campus: Marijn Bolhuis, partner of religious studies professor Suzanne van Geuns, and their son. Each year, the chancellor brings new faculty members to Olin House to give them and their families an introduction to UW traditions. Photo by Jeff Miller
