Celebrating Badger Pride

Celebrating Badger Pride

Bucky and other university icons

Pride Month is a time to celebrate how far we’ve come — and reflect on how much further we have to go. Here are some ways you can get involved with the Wisconsin Alumni Association’s Pride celebration this year:

Connect with LGBTQ+ Badgers and Allies

WAA is working to move inclusivity forward. This includes greater representation of LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and topics in our communications; increased partnerships with LGBTQ+ organizations in Wisconsin; and more.

One important step is the recent relaunch of the WAA: Rainbow Affinity Group. Previously called the GLBT Alumni Council, this group helps connect LGBTQ+ Badgers and their allies everywhere. Not a member yet? Follow the Rainbow Affinity Group on social media to learn about upcoming activities and other news!

Celebrate on Campus

Save the date for our Badger Meet-Up on Saturday, Aug. 2. Join fellow Badgers for family-friendly summer fun celebrating the Wisconsin Alumni Association’s identity-based affinity groups. Check back soon for details — or follow the Rainbow Affinity Group on Facebook or Instagram.

Be a Badger Leader

Interested in getting even more involved? We’re looking for volunteer leaders like you to join the board of the WAA: Rainbow Affinity Group! You’ll help create fun programs and activities, provide professional networking opportunities, support causes important to group members, and more. Email us if you’d like to learn more!

2025 brought much complexity for UW–Madison, we are grateful that the support of alumni and friends was unfailing. Continuing to move our world-class university forward is a mission with no end, and the UW needs its supporters more than ever. Give online now to make an impact on the area most dear to your heart.
