Seattle Chapter
A Wisconsin Alumni Association Varsity Chapter
Our purpose is to build an inclusive local community of UW alumni and supporters united by Badger pride, spirit, and the desire to advance UW–Madison’s positive impact on the world.
With a proud history of serving more than 4,000 Badger alumni, students, families, and friends in the greater Seattle area, the Seattle Chapter of the Wisconsin Alumni Association (@waaseattle) is dedicated to connecting you to local Badgers, providing scholarship funds for area students attending UW–Madison, and giving back to our alma mater and our community. We do so by hosting a variety of events filled with Badger spirit throughout the year.
