Welcome to Witte Hall

Residents of Witte Hall are enjoying a new entrance, highlighted with floor to ceiling windows, which visually enhances and better identifies main access into the residence hall. The lobby was also remodeled and a new Multicultural Student Center was created. Renovations to the exterior of Witte will also be made and include landscaping and additional bike racks.

For additional information about the Witte Hall remodeling project, please visit our Master Plan page, containing updates about not only this project, but also the many others occuring in University Housing now through 2020.

It's all here!

Witte Hall offers students many resources. All of these services are here to help you thrive as a successful college student.

In addition to our friendly and knowledgeable Housing staff, you can meet with a Cross-College Advising Services advisor, work with one of our tutors, or become involved with the Witte Hall Organization.

Located on the corner of Lake and Dayton streets, Witte Hall is close to Gordon Commons, the Kohl Center, and the Southeast Recreational Facility (SERF).

The community in Witte provides a fantastic experience. You can meet people from around the world with incredibly diverse backgrounds and life experiences, and feel right at home chatting together in the elevator every day, because now you share the same campus lifestyle and can relate to the pressures of succeeding in school while balancing a busy calendar of activities and commitments on and off campus.

Your time in Witte will be something you look back on years from now, and tell your friends, “I’m so glad I lived there, because it showed me how phenomenal a UW-Madison residence hall could be.”

Multicultural Learning Community (MLC)

Dedicated to Understanding

The Multicultural Learning Community in Witte Hall is a community dedicated to serving students who have a thirst to understand the problems, issues, benefits, and contributions of human diversity and social justice. From the opening convocation through the end of the year celebrations, the MLC strives to bring people together around these topics.

MLC residents have access to all of the amenities of Witte Hall and are encouraged to take advantage of the additional services:

• Enrollment in the MLC Seminar (Multiculturalism in Societal Places and Other Spaces), a small weekly course led by Professor Carl Grant.
• The MLC Program Coordinator, House Fellow, Diversity Coordinator, and Interns are always around to answer questions, plan events, or discuss topics raised in the seminars.
• Programs and events sponsored by the MLC include the “Lemon Squeeze,” a weekly discussion about current or controversial topics, and cultural dinners where students have the opportunity to share aspects of their culture with other students living on the floor through food.
