A good advocate is an informed advocate.
The next Wisconsin state budget year will begin with new state leadership in just a few short months. Let’s get ready, Badger advocates!
Join fellow UW alumni, friends, and leaders on Saturday, Nov. 14, for a deep dive into:
- how UW–Madison supports critical health care and public health needs across rural Wisconsin and why these programs are a key resource to the state.
- the impact of humanities education beyond the classroom as an integral component of interdisciplinary fields and careers essential to society.
Hear from UW faculty, elected officials, and other experts about how these critical issues impact UW–Madison and how the university affects them in return, so you’ll be prepared for the important advocacy work ahead.
Lunch will be provided. RSVP by November 7.
