We enjoy the beauty of southwestern Wisconsin and its climate--even the snow-filled winters. Don't forget, Wisconsin is home to the Superbowl champion Green Bay Packers, so it's one of the few places in America where you can buy a genuine cheesehead! We encourage students to visit the area.
--Robert and Michelle Tyvoll
I send my warmest holiday greeting to the ELI staff and faculty, and to all my summer students. Work harder and remember to take the time to celebrate your lives.
