It’s time for two proud UW–Madison traditions in one: civic engagement and football!
Join fellow UW alumni and friends in Madison for our Fall Policy Forum, where you’ll learn about the implications of public policy decisions on higher education. Hear from UW faculty, elected officials, and other experts about how these policies impact UW–Madison. Then, enjoy a spirited Badger tailgate with delicious Game Day foods. Afterward, head over to Camp Randall to cheer on the Wisconsin Badgers as they take on the Washington Huskies!
This event will begin two and a half to three hours before kickoff. When kickoff time is announced a week or two before the game, an updated event start time will be sent to all registrants.
The forum and tailgate are free to attend. If you wish to attend the football game, you may purchase tickets for $60 per seat when you register for the forum. Tickets are available until sold out.
RSVP by October 31.
