Worth a Thousand Words: Celebrate Good Times

Community, food, family-friendly fun, and Badger pride are hallmarks of WAA’s annual Affinity Group Celebration.

Badgers celebrate at One Alumni Place.

What could be better than a celebratory picnic on campus? For the past few years, WAA’s five affinity groups have been inviting alumni back to Madison to celebrate their school spirit the way it should be celebrated: in the warmth of summer and in community with other Badgers. The annual Affinity Group Celebration offers free family-friendly fun, as well as a chance to socialize with leaders and members of WAA’s various affinity groups. On August 3, 2024, Badgers of all backgrounds will once again return to campus to see old friends, meet new ones, and celebrate an ever-growing alumni community.
