WAA Chapter or Affinity Group
Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) chapters are regionally based groups that bring together Badgers who live near each other (e.g., the Twin Cities Chapter, the Orange County Chapter, etc.). Affinity groups are nationally based groups that unite Badgers who share similar backgrounds (e.g., the African American Affinity Group, the LGBTQ+ Affinity Group, etc.). Both types of groups engage in activities such as social events, volunteering, fundraising for student scholarships, connecting with current UW students to support their educational and career goals, and more.
