[December 2009] UW Chancellor, Biddy Martin, mentioned EDGE Project in her speech to graduates during the Winter 2009 ceremony:

“’…your generation is highly collaborative, team oriented, quick to adapt to new technologies, impatient with old business models and determined to change the world’…your desire to shake things up is not limited to starting businesses and making money. There are so many examples I could list of your entrepreneurial activity on behalf of social causes. A group of UW-Madison public affairs students, for example, started a group entitled EDGE Project, to do international community development work in Uganda. They built a grain mill, created a farmers’ co-op and started a girls’ soccer team, and all of these projects were major developments on an island that is all but forgotten by its own government. That’s just one example of your initiative and your humanity.”
