Student Affairs Advancement (SAA) works to enrich a Badger’s experience both inside and outside the classroom. While there are many specific needs throughout the university, SAA is mainly focused in providing support for:
- Diversity, Inclusion and Social Justice Initiatives
- Mental Health and Well-Being Initiatives
- Global Action Initiatives
- Student Advocacy and Leadership Initiatives
The Student Affairs Advancement Team is partnering with alumni, donors and friends to create life changing and supportive opportunities for our students.
