Midnight Madness is an all-night tutoring event for undergraduates inspired by \u201cThe Long Night Against Procrastination.\u201d [broken link removed]\u00a0This mad event offers one-on-one writing instruction from 6pm to 1am. Midnight Madness is hosted by the Writing Center in collaboration with Steve Frye and our good friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.library.wisc.edu\/college\/\">College Library,<\/a>\u00a0UW-Madison&#8217;s library for undergraduates. We want to thank College Library for providing the space and lots of logistical support. The purpose of Midnight Madness is to provide extra tutoring support for undergrads at the end of the semester when deadlines and due dates are looming large. Brad Hughes, director of the Writing Center, had been entertaining the idea of an all-night tutoring event for a couple years.\u00a0\u00a0We finally decided to go for it this year, and we\u2019re glad we did because it turned out to be a big success, thanks in no small measure to Jen Fandel\u2019s excellent posters and promotional efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Flyer_Midnight-Madness-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"A flyer for the first ever Midnight Madness for undergrad writers in December 2017. \" class=\"wp-image-9432\" style=\"width:351px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Flyer_Midnight-Madness-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Flyer_Midnight-Madness-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Flyer_Midnight-Madness-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Flyer_Midnight-Madness-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Flyer_Midnight-Madness.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first ever Midnight Madness was in December 2017 in conjunction with \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swarthmore.edu\/writing\/intlwritein17\">The International Write-In<\/a>,&#8221;&nbsp;and it turned out so well that we decided to do it again this Spring, which we did last Sunday, April 29<sup>th<\/sup>.&nbsp; We had seven experienced Writing Center instructors on staff: Minhee Kim, Chrissy Widmayer, Robert Collins, Antonio Byrd, Antonio Tang, Jared Seymour, and John Koban.
