175 Luminous Years of the University of Wisconsin

You’re invited to a gala 175 years in the making! Join us for a sparkling evening as we honor the Wisconsin ideas and accomplishments that have illuminated the world since the university’s founding in 1848. Surrounded by a constellation of fellow UW supporters and campus leaders, you’ll enjoy inspiring speakers, musical guests, delicious food and beverages, and more.

You have helped make UW–Madison one of the brightest public universities in the world, and we can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with you!

Doors will open at 6 p.m. — but as one of UW-Madison’s leading supporters, you are invited to join an exclusive pre-reception beginning at 5 p.m.

Cocktail attire with Badger flair is requested.
