WELCOME to Alumni for Wisconsin, the advocacy branch of the Wisconsin Alumni Association. Our mission is to create a public dialogue about the importance of higher education in our state.

Like our page on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.

Learn more about why UW-Madison is changing the sources of its budget and reevaluate priorities in the face of declining state support.

Understand the work of the 17-member committee (composed of elected representatives, chancellors and university administrators, Regents, and community members) appointed to evaluate potential restructuring and operational flexibilities for the UW System.

With one of the lowest tuition rates among its peer universities, UW-Madison must decide the appropriate tuition level to sustain operations while maintaining affordability and access.

UW-Madison is proud to celebrate the Year of the Wisconsin Idea in 2011-2012. The Wisconsin Idea is the principle that the university should improve people's lives beyond the classroom. It spans UW-Madison's teaching, research, outreach, and public service. Our faculty, staff and students contribute to the Wisconsin Idea every day through their work to benefit the state, nation and world.

Join us at an event to learn about ways to become involved in advocacy.

An annual meeting held each fall to discuss the role alumni play in shaping the future of our university.
