Join us July 24 at 3 p.m. CST to learn about our new marketing strategy for the 2024–25 game watch season. We will walk you through planning steps, the submission form (due August 15), the centralized game watch landing page, and how to leverage social media for game watch details and updates.  Seasoned chapters should bring their best tips and tricks to share with other chapters or post them to the Badger Leader Facebook page in advance.

Brush up on your trivia, turn up the Badger tunes, and get ready for some summer fun as you unite alumni in your chapter region to send our newest Badger freshmen off to Madison! Please review the Tips and Best Practices before your big day and remember to print your registration list from the Online Registration Reporting Center to take attendance. This will be due back to your chapter representative within a week of the event. More resources, including imagery for your social media accounts, can be found in the SSO toolkit.

We heard your feedback, so we are introducing a single annual program report. This simplified process will reduce time required for reporting and allow WAA to better acknowledge the contributions of all our chapters, regardless of size. The 2023–24 process is detailed below with steps 1-4 due September 1.

Calling all new volunteers who do not yet have a Badger Leader name tag!  Use this form to order yours today.  We also encourage you to join our Badger Leaders Facebook group to stay up to date. 

Due to low availability from Badger leaders, we are cancelling the July Founders' Day retrospectives. We still encourage you to share feedback to help us solidify a process that works well for everyone moving forward.

We heard your feedback and have shortened our internal processes to get chapter emails out quicker, ideally within 3 business days. Please note that with this expedited timeline, you are the editors and the proofreaders. We encourage you to have your content reviewed in advance and to keep an eye on your inbox for a draft within a few days. A timely response with minimal edits will keep your communications flowing smoothly!

If you’re planning to be in Madison for this year’s Homecoming, please save the date to join us at a VIP reception before the parade where you can connect with your chapter representative and other alumni. Watch our website for a schedule of the week’s events. 

We enjoyed sharing the Domestic Chapters Business Model survey results with you in June. Here are the slides if you would like to share them with your board. Please reach out to Angela if you missed these calls and are interested in a recap or would like representation at an upcoming board meeting.

WFAA’s chief marketing officer spoke to our chapter leaders to share facts and figures debunking some of the myths facing higher education in the media. The recording and slides are available on our website. You are welcome to share the one-page document developed to showcase how the UW is rising to these challenges.
