Program Overview

The Alumni Admissions Volunteer program is a partnership between the Office of Admissions and Recruitment and the Wisconsin Alumni Association, providing opportunities for alumni to support student admission efforts to enroll a competitive and diverse student body. Volunteers assist by connecting with prospective students in communities across Wisconsin, the US, and around the world. These opportunities include:

Alumni represent UW–Madison by volunteering to work college fairs across the country and around the globe, providing academic information, application information, and valuable insight for prospective students and their families on what it means to be a Badger.

Alumni volunteers assist admissions staff at various events, including prospective and admitted student events, providing context to the Wisconsin Experience and answering questions students and their families might have by participating on alumni panels, assisting with check-in, and/or mingling throughout the event. There are also opportunities to sponsor events.

Upon registering as an Alumni Admissions Volunteer, you can create your own experience connecting with students through a variety of volunteer opportunities at the direction of the Office of Admissions and Recruitment.
