MADISON, Wis. — This weekend’s homecoming is a long-standing tradition that brings back University of Wisconsin alumni from around the country to join current students to celebrate the school.
Those alumni bring back fond memories of campus and some of them are bringing cash to donate to their alma mater. However, some officials are concerned that the nation’s economic tumult will impact the economics of giving.
The UW officials said that they’re game plan doesn’t change, saying the most important aspect of fundraising is “building relationships” with its graduates.
