Senior Week 2010: April 5-10

Welcome to the Senior Week 2010!

Senior Week is a weeklong celebration for soon-to-be alumni (May and December 2010 grads) hosted by the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) and University of Wisconsin Foundation (UWF).

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.

Some events require registration. Click here to register!
