Find Community
Students have many ways to connect with others who share their goals, attitudes, and interests — as well as opportunities to expand their horizons beyond familiarity. UW–Madison brings together people from across the United States and all over the world, from diverse cultural, religious, and life experiences. Take time to explore, connect, and build community while you are here. All are welcome.
Centers for Student Success and Belonging
The Centers for Student Success and Belonging offer welcoming spaces, resources, and opportunities for students of all backgrounds and identities to connect, learn, and grow. Together, the centers coordinate programs, workshops, trainings, campus celebrations, and dialogue experiences that foster community, encourage meaningful engagement across differences, and support student success.
Each center contributes its own distinct programs and perspectives while working collaboratively to help students find belonging and build connections throughout their Badger experience.
