Share the Plate – 12/7/25 and 12/14/25 UW Odyssey Project

The share the plate for Sundays December 7th and December 14 is the UW Odyssey Project. The UW Odyssey Project offers University of Wisconsin-Madison humanities classes for adult students facing economic barriers to college. The majority of students that participate in the Odyssey Course are from racial and ethnic minority groups (~90%). Odyssey students report transformative outcomes, and some have even moved from homelessness to bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Students also say that they read more to their children, feel that they are better parents and advocates for their children in school, have more hope about their own futures, and are more likely to vote and become involved in their communities. UW Odyssey Project was nominated by Bryan Rainey and Ed Kuharski.
