About

Badgers United was formed by Wisconsin business leaders and concerned citizens who recognize the University of Wisconsin – Madison’s great impact on our state, and the challenges it must overcome to continue delivering powerful results. We aren’t partisan or political activists. We’re members of communities like yours who believe UW-Madison is the key to fueling our state’s economic engine.

We’re proud of what the University has done for Wisconsin residents, but we believe it’s time to turn our attention toward what is needed for future progress.
