Acknowledgments

This book is dedicated to all the amazing faculty and staff of the University of Wisconsin System (we pay taxes too!). Also, thank you to anyone who took the time to read anything I wrote—our collaboration means the world to me. It is hard to say how one’s thoughts and reactions in the moment will hold up over time, but the spirit of this work doubles as a promise to my daughters: I will work tirelessly to ensure that the opportunities I was privileged to have are waiting there for you when you need them. Finally, this book contains a small number of the posts that compose the entire UW Struggle series, which can be read at http://chuckrybak.com/category/uw-system.
