Addison Trail freshmen visit University of Wisconsin-Madison

At the beginning of each school year, Addison Trail takes freshmen on college visits to University of Wisconsin-Madison. The first two trips of the 2016-17 school year took place on Aug. 30 and 31, and the next visits will be on Sept. 20, 21 and 22.

The goal is to “begin with the end in mind” and expose first-year high school students to a post-secondary-education campus. About 90 percent of the class of 2020 will participate in a field trip to University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Along with learning about the campus and the social and academic activities available, students also receive information about the history of the university and the admission process. This is the eleventh year Addison Trail freshmen have gone to University of Wisconsin-Madison.
