UW Homecoming for Students

Homecoming Week is October 17-25, 2008!

Homecoming wants you to be involved with this week-long celebration. Find out how you and your student org, residence hall, greek house or friends can take part.

Every year, Homecoming is a heated, week-long competition among the fraternities and sororities, residence halls, and student organizations. It's a whole new battlefield this year! Not only will these groups continue to fight it out for the number one spot, but even students not affiliated with the above groups can participate. For this year's Homecoming celebration, all UW students will be eligible to create their own teams to get in on the game and compete!

Fifth Quarter Celebration

Due to rain, this event has been moved into the UW Field House with a new tailgate start time of 4:30 p.m. Please enter through Gate B.

Join the UW Homecoming Committee as we host a Fifth Quarter Celebration during Wisconsin Welcome Week! Take a break from your first week of classes for a Wisconsin style tailgate. Brats will be hot off the grill and ready to eat on Thursday, September 4, 2008. Socialize with your new Badger friends while listening to WSUM radio, our student run radio station.

After the tailgate, get ready for the World Famous Fifth Quarter! Sing and dance along with the UW Marching Band while learning the lyrics and dance steps from band director, Mike Leckrone. Stick around for a speech by head football coach Brett Bielema and your football team captains. Hand-outs and prizes will be up for grabs during the entire event so be sure to come early and stay late!

The Wisconsin Fifth Quarter is a great Badger tradition you will not want to miss!
