In the spirit of the Wisconsin Idea, the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) annually recognizes degreed living alumni who demonstrate the ideals of progress, discovery, service, and leadership in extending the positive influence of the university. If you know of any UW alumni who have made a significant impact on their professions, the nation, the world, or the university, please nominate them, or yourself, for one of the following Wisconsin Alumni Association awards. Please note that current UW–Madison faculty and staff are not eligible for the alumni awards, but they can be nominated for a faculty and staff award.
The deadline to nominate an individual for a WAA award is January 5, 2025. Award selections will be announced in summer 2025.
