A Celebration of Rising Stars
You are invited to attend a prideful reception recognizing this year’s Forward Award honorees and their early-career and community achievements. It’s a moment to celebrate these Badgers who are driven to move forward, and for you to connect with fellow alumni and friends.
Enjoy an evening of mingling with the awardees and learning more about their accomplishments in the areas of service, discovery, and progress. They truly are living the Wisconsin Idea and making a difference beyond the borders of campus. This special reception also features complimentary appetizers and beverages.
