Desired Experiences

or, How You’d Feel About the Chapter in a Perfect World

Now that we’ve established what a chapter is, how do you feel about your own? How do your alumni feel about it? The desired experience statements are not a reflection of sentiments now, but they are a goal to work toward. They’ll help your chapter define your mission and think up creative ways to engage your volunteers and local alumni.

As a UW alum, my Chapter connects me to other alumni in my area and to UW-Madison, through activities and programs that engage me socially, intellectually and professionally. I am proud to be a part of a diverse and global network of alumni representing and serving the UW. My involvement adds value to my community and my life.

As a Chapter leader, I help connect alumni with other graduates in my area, with WAA and with the UW by fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. I am a valued member of a team of leaders working with WAA and UW staff who provide me with the support and resources I need.
