Because UW–Madison is a public university, its budget and policies are affected by our government. We need passionate advocates like you to be part of the UW’s delegation to Congress!
Join fellow UW alumni and friends in Washington, DC, to learn how to be an effective lobbyist. Then, meet with individual members of Congress and their staff in a small group setting. You’ll make a difference by sharing your story about what higher education means to you and your community. Plus, connect with fellow Badgers who love the UW as much as you do — and enjoy a taste of Madison with some Babcock Hall ice cream!
RSVP by March 12 if you plan to participate in Congressional meetings. RSVP by March 26 if you plan to attend the evening reception only.
