Students on UW-Madison's campus don’t have access to microwaves: a basic, essential resource for anyone spending long hours on campus. This small addition would dramatically improve student well‑being, affordability, and daily comfort.

• Microwaves support food and nutrition flexibility, letting students bring meals from home instead of buying expensive options.
• Students spend HOURS in campus buildings with no way to heat meals.
• Major campus buildings have removed this basic resource. Recently, Grainger Hall removed their microwaves with no nearby alternatives.
• Cold food shouldn’t be the norm for students juggling classes, jobs, and tight budgets.
• Many students have diet restrictions and must bring their own food, and should be able to heat it.
• A simple, low‑cost addition that boosts student health, comfort, and academic focus.
• Every other major Big 10 university has microwaves across campus.
• This is about equity, not convenience.
