Grandparents University is an intergenerational learning experience for children who are accompanied by a grandparent(s) or older adult relative(s) who is not their parent. We recommend one to two children per adult. Children must be between the ages of 7 and 14 during the GPU session. Adults do not need to be UW–Madison or UW System alumni to attend; however one member of the family — a grandparent/older adult relative or a parent of a grandchild — must be a Wisconsin Alumni Association member or recognized in Van Hise Society, Bascom Hill Society, or 1848 Society to register.

If you meet one or more of these criteria and would like to receive information about GPU – and the link to register on registration day – you must join our GPU mailing list. Scroll to the bottom of this page and complete the form before January 31, 2023 to receive information about GPU sessions happening in July 2023.
