175th Anniversary Ice Cream Flavor

What’s a UW–Madison anniversary celebration without Babcock Dairy ice cream? In early October, the campus and community were asked to select a commemorative ice cream flavor by choosing from one of four options. We’re excited to announce that the winning flavor is 175 S’more Years, a rich, chocolate ice cream with a marshmallow swirl and graham cracker crunch.

Celebrate with us

While the 175th anniversary officially kicked off in July, events and programming will continue through 2024. If you haven’t had a chance to participate in the anniversary, we have many events coming up on campus over the next few months. Learn more about the anniversary and we look forward to celebrating with you!
