Tell your UW story

UW–Madison Day at the State Capitol

The future belongs to those who show up.

Because UW–Madison is a public university, its budget and policies are affected by our government. We need passionate advocates like you to be part of the UW’s delegation to the state legislature!

Gather with fellow UW alumni and friends in Madison to learn how to be an effective advocate. Then, meet with individual elected officials and their staff in a small group setting. You’ll make a difference by sharing your UW story about what UW–Madison and higher education means to you and your community. Plus, you’ll connect with other Badgers who love the UW as much as you do!

RSVP by April 19.
