"This is our opportunity to just enjoy each other's company, have a lot of fun and celebrate being a Badger," said Tod Pritchard from the Wisconsin Alumni Association. "Whether you're a friend, an alum, or you know a Badger, everyone is welcome."
Visitors escaped the cold inside to enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and apple cider. The afternoon featured winter-themed storytelling and art activities provided by the Chazen Museum of Art. DJ Mike Carlson kept the energy high with a winter dance party, while Bucky Badger, the UW Alumni Band, and UW Dance Team, made a special appearance.
Guests also had the opportunity to explore Alumni Park's exhibits, which showcase the achievements of more than 120 UW-Madison alumni.
