Senior Week 2011: April 7-14
Welcome to Senior Week 2011!
The isthmus beneath your feet has been home for the past few years, where you’ve earned a world-class education, made friends and memories that’ll last a lifetime, discovered the intense excitement and aggravation of August “moving day,” and jumped around in sections O and P.
And although your time as a student is coming to an end, your connection to campus never will. Join your UW senior class for a week of free events sponsored by the Wisconsin Alumni Association and University of Wisconsin Foundation — your gateways back to campus as alumni — as we send you off with a bang. Mark your calendars for the following week of fun and educational events. Plus, for each event you attend you will recieve one ticket for prize drawings at your Senior Party on Thursday, April 14. Wear The Red Shirt™ to each event to score an extra ticket!
And, make sure you do keep those connections to campus strong once you've graduated by becoming a member of the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA). To ensure you remain a full fledged Badger, WAA is offering a special new-grad package for a limited time. Click here for more details.

Please check back often for more details and potential additional events! Senior Week is sponsored by the Wisconsin Alumni Association and the UW Foundation.
