W Club

Mission Statement

The W Club is Wisconsin Athletics’ lifelong engagement hub for all Letterwinners—student-athletes who have earned a varsity letter in their sport.

We’re here to keep you connected long after your playing days are over. Through events, communications, and exclusive opportunities, we help you stay engaged with fellow alumni, grow your personal and professional network, and remain part of the Badger community.

At the same time, we honor the rich tradition of Wisconsin Athletics while supporting today’s student-athletes—bringing generations of Letterwinners together through a shared sense of pride and connection.

The W Club supports the lifelong growth of Letterwinners through our Badger Built commitment—empowering you to keep winning beyond your playing days in your career, education, and community.

We provide resources and opportunities designed to help you thrive in life after sport, including career development through Podium X, mentoring, and professional networking.

Beyond career, we foster lasting connections within the Badger community—and serve as a trusted resource every step of the way. Whether you’re navigating life after sport, exploring new opportunities, or simply looking to stay connected, the W Club is here to help. We’re here to ensure you stay engaged, supported, and connected for life.

About the W Club

The W Club was established in 1949 and set the benchmark on Lettermen Associations. What started as a small alumni group has become an organization with a diverse membership base of over 12,500 Letterwinners representing athletes from thirty-six different sports dating back to 1895. The W Club is comprised of individuals who have earned the University’s varsity athletic insignia “W” for their athletic or team involvement or who have been named as honorary members for their support services.

With a great sense of legacy and pride, the W Club focuses on providing opportunities for members to stay connected to former teammates, the school and the heritage of being a former Badger Athlete. It is just not what or why we do things but in what spirit we approach our mission. There are three core principles of service that member’s value in the W Club: People, Pride, and Purpose.
