WAA: Atlanta Chapter
WAA: Atlanta Chapter Founders’ Day
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
From stem cells and biochemistry to folklore and film history, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has established itself as a leader in research breakthroughs and education. And for more than 85 years, the Wisconsin Alumni Association has hosted Founders’ Day celebrations in honor of these achievements and UW-Madison’s beginnings.
You’ll hear from John Wiley and Sangtae Kim at this time-honored event in the company of other area Badgers. And because we are proud of our Badger heritage, all it takes is a few verses of “Varsity,” sung with arms waving, to bring the heady memories of college days flooding back.
**Online registration is now closed. Walk-ins welcome.
Thank you to our sponsors: the Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau, University Research Park, Office of Corporate Relations and Morgridge Institute for Research.
Founders’ Day 2009 is presented by the Wisconsin Alumni Association in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin Foundation and the Chancellor’s Office.

About Us
The Alumni Club of Atlanta provides a means of meeting grads, family, and friends of the University of Wisconsin-Madison who live and work in the Atlanta area and the state of Georgia. There are over 1,500 alumni in and around Atlanta.
During football season, we meet every Saturday to watch the Badger football team in action. These meetings are at Jocks and Jills in Brookhaven.
Special events include an annual Beer and Brat Party in the fall, as well as the Founders Day dinner, usually held in early spring. Also, the Big Ten schools get together for a summer picnic.
The Alumni Club of Atlanta is also active in the Matching Scholarship Program with WAA. Give to the UW Alumni Club of Atlanta Scholarship Fund. All funds collected, up to $8,000, will be matched by the UW Foundation. All proceeds will go to deserving local students attending UW-Madison.
