Alumni Group Interest Form

At this time, we are not accepting requests to establish new affiliate groups.

Our purpose is to build an inclusive community of UW alumni and supporters united by Badger pride, spirit, and the desire to advance UW-Madison’s positive impact on the world.

We currently serve alumni chapters and identity-based affinity groups around the world. See a list of our current chapters and groups.

  • We currently have international chapters that cover just cities (for example Shanghai, China) and international chapters that cover entire countries (for example Pakistan). It's up to you and other volunteers the area you want to cover.

  • Meet Badgers from all over the world who share your interest in supporting UW students and alumni. Our identity-based affinity group communities create a space where you can connect with other alumni both socially and professionally, celebrate those who make a difference in their communities, support students during their time on campus, and more.

  • Requests to start a new identity-based affinity group must come from a UW-Madison alumni, but there are no geographic requirements. A member of the Diverse Alumni Engagement team will reach out to you to discuss your request.

  • Connect with old (and new!) friends who participated in the same campus organizations as you. These spirited groups unite Badgers who shared similar student experiences so you can relive those campus days and keep cherished UW traditions alive for future generations!
