Learn from the Luminaries
You’re invited to an evening of engaging conversation with the Wisconsin Alumni Association’s most recent Luminary Award winners.
After a welcome by Sarah Schutt, executive director and chief alumni officer of the Wisconsin Alumni Association, honorees will share stories on what lights them up and how the UW contributed to their achievements.
Moderated by Jessica Arp ’04, senior managing director of communications for the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association, these discussions are sure to be enlightening — offering you the chance to learn something along the way.
