The Undergraduate Student Success Fund is a transformative initiative that enriches students’ lives and shapes their experiences at the Wisconsin Union. Recognizing the profound impact of student involvement, this fund underscores the Wisconsin Union’s commitment to fostering opportunities for growth. Through programs led by the Wisconsin Union Directorate (WUD) and other Union-sponsored student groups, students organize thousands of events annually. These experiences not only enhance campus life but also provide real-world learning comparable to a fellowship or internship. 

How Your Gifts Make an Impact 

Your support creates life-changing opportunities for students to grow and thrive. Every contribution enables students to: 

  • Gain practical skills 
  • Develop interpersonal understanding 
  • Access meaningful experiences that shape their personal and professional journeys 

Regardless of their background, field of study, or year in college, your generosity ensures every student can succeed. Imagine a student stepping boldly into their first professional role with confidence and expertise — that’s the power of your support in action. 

Why We Need Your Support 

The Wisconsin Union has long been a cornerstone of student development. The Undergraduate Student Success Fund ensures that every student, no matter their circumstances, has access to transformative experiences that prepare them for life beyond campus. 

Join us in shaping the next generation of leaders. Their success starts with you. 

Gifts will be contributed to the Undergraduate Student Success Fund – 132900172 at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
