Celebrating 175 Years of Partnering with Wisconsin
Serving Wisconsin since 1848
This one’s for you, Wisconsin! Because UW–Madison is the state’s school — which makes us all Badgers. So, plan to catch this anniversary celebration when it rolls into a town near you. Overflowing with Badger spirit and surprises galore, you won’t want to miss what’s sure to be talked about for the next 175 years!
Highlights include family-fun activities, complimentary Babcock ice cream (including the unveiling of a special commemorative flavor), games, giveaways, a UW-themed trivia contest, music, and more.
It’s also a celebration of the impact the UW has made, and continues to make, in hometowns throughout the state. From alumni who live near you to local businesses with Badger ties, the UW has been in your area all along working to improve lives and better the community.
