Welcome Back, Badgers!

Welcome back, you resilient Badgers! We are excited about a year that we anticipate will be more like a Badger experience. This means sharing new ways to enjoy campus and some classic campus experiences, some of which we could not hold last year due to COVID-19.

Starting September 1, you will experience more of what Badgers can enjoy, from tailgates at Union South, called Badger Bashes, to in-person group fitness activities with Recreation & Wellbeing.

We are so proud of you, Badgers, for overcoming all of the obstacles from the past year and for all that you will accomplish in the months ahead. And we, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will be here for you every step of the way, starting with events to celebrate your return to campus.

Stay updated on the current COVID-19 chancellor’s orders for campus gatherings and events.
