While we are an association for alumni, WAA also works with and on behalf of students in many ways, preparing them to be alumni who will feel a spirit of community, advocacy, and leadership when they leave the university. WAA programs and events help provide valuable leadership and career preparation opportunities for our future alumni.
All groups are free and student-run.
The beauty of a large campus like UW-Madison is that in addition to the required activities like going to class and taking exams, there are a wealth of activities and events to keep you occupied during your free time. It's a fall weekend when parents of freshmen can visit the campus for classes, activities, and a Badger football game. Find out why 700 students gathered for this event which now promises to be an annual thing. WAA's student ambassadors promote positive relations between future and present students and alumni. WASBalso includes campus programs, fundraising, membership, outreach, and WAA support.
