International students are invited to experience game day with WAA

The thrill of game day at Camp Randall Stadium is a feeling Badger fans know well. But many UW–Madison international students have never experienced this pastime.

That’s why on Saturday, Sept. 25, the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) and Office of International Student Services (ISS) are hosting a free, pre-game tailgate at Union South for all international students before Wisconsin’s game against Penn State.

“Seeing the sea of red and white, cheering along with the crowd, that’s something every UW student should experience at least once,” says WAA President and CEO Paula Bonner. “It’s so important that everyone on campus feels proud to be a Badger. This tailgate is a great way for international students to take part in a true Badger tradition.”

International students will enjoy refreshments and tailgate fare at Union South from 1:30-4:30 p.m., followed by the Badger football game. To register for the tailgate and purchase game tickets, students are encouraged to stop by the ISS office in the Red Gym, 716 Langdon St., by Wednesday, Sept. 15. Questions can be directed to ISS’s Travis Ulrich at (608) 263-6675 or Ulrich@redgym.wisc.edu.
