Thank you for being a member of the Parent Philanthropy Circle! Please join us for a special reception during Family Weekend 2026 to learn more about how you’re making a difference.
Enjoy stunning lakeside views, light appetizers, and socializing with Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Lori Reesor and members of her leadership team. They look forward to answering your questions about student life and well-being, as well as sharing updates about resources and opportunities that help students succeed academically, personally, and professionally. You’ll also get to meet families of new Badgers, share your experiences as a Parent Philanthropy Circle member, and help welcome them to the Badger community.
Register by September 30. You are welcome to join with or without your student.
