Researchers at UW-Oshkosh are launching a study on the successes and challenges for international refugees settling in Wisconsin. We find out what they hope to learn and how it could change the way the state welcomes new arrivals. We also hear how UW-Madison is preserving its collection of motion pictures on fragile, flammable nitrate film. Plus, we discuss a request from the Green Bay Packers for spectators to lock arms before tonight’s game in a show of unity and hear about fans’ reactions.
