WAA event cancellations announced

March 12, 2020

Dear UW alumni and friends,

We’ve been monitoring rapidly changing conditions and new information about the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Our highest priority is the health and well-being of our constituents, staff, and UW community. Following recent recommendations from public health officials and guidelines established by UW–Madison leadership, we have decided to cancel or suspend all in-person alumni events through April 30, 2020.

UW–Madison chancellor Rebecca Blank and public health officials have recommended drastically limiting nonessential travel and suspending events. We are taking this proactive measure out of consideration for your health and well-being.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by these cancellations, and we appreciate your continued support of UW–Madison. You will receive specific information about refunds for paid events in the coming days.

Thank you for your understanding, and be well.

Sarah Schutt

Chief Alumni Engagement Officer
