MADISON (Feb. 12, 2016) - An estimated 1,169 students at all levels (bachelor's, master's, doctoral and professional) participated in the University of Wisconsin-Madison's winter commencement ceremony, held on Sunday, December 20, 2015 at the Kohl Center.

Emily Guinn of Bettendorf graduated from the College of Engineering with a Bachelor of Science-Mechanical Engineering degree.

Zoe Timms, founder of the Women's Education Project (WEP), delivered the charge to the graduates. A history major who graduated from UW-Madison in 1997, Timms' work with the WEP's three centers in South India has helped hundreds of young women complete their education and enjoy professional, fulfilling careers.
