Celebrating Alumni
The Wisconsin Alumni Association is proud to celebrate a century and a half of service to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and its graduates.

The Wisconsin Alumni Association was founded in 1861 by early alumni who wanted to support the future of their alma mater.

Throughout 2011, we celebrated the alumni legacy with commemorative programs and special events on campus and through chapters and contacts in approximately 100 cities around the world.

Learn more about WAA's long history of serving UW-Madison alumni in the Nostalgia Archives, stay connected with your fellow grads with these Badger Traditions and find out how you can make a difference for the next 150 years by Showing Your Badger Pride.

Hundreds of Badger faithful joined us on Alumni Pier at the Memorial Union Terrace last June to help WAA celebrate our anniversary and the release of Mad Grad Medley. Share your birthday greeting with us today!

Mad Grad Medley was created and voted on by UW alumni. Now, it's time to eat! We invite you to enjoy your special flavor shipped directly to your door.

As part of the 100th celebration of Homecoming, we hosted a 150th anniversary gala on October 14, 2012, a marquee moment to celebrate alumni from all eras. Flip through our photo and video galleries from this once-in-a-lifetime event!

Annual Founders' Day celebrations are held by alumni chapters across the country to commemorate the first class at UW-Madison in 1849. Connect with your local chapter and celebrate your alma mater this spring as we honor 100 years of the Wisconsin Idea.

The new Alumni Weekend welcomes all alumni and their families for a weekend of celebration, connection and community. Set a course for campus April 27-28, 2012 and return to where memories are made.

WAA greatly appreciates the generous support of our sponsors
