Welcome
Upper House is a center for Christian study and hospitality in the heart of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. We create space for students, faculty, and community members to dig deeper into the relationship between faith and learning.
Our open study hours, public events, reading groups, Fellows Program, and other programming create opportunities to consider how Christian faith informs the life of the mind.
