Frequently asked questions about alumni communications:
The School sends regular communications to alumni but it is important to remember that alumni often have more than one affiliation with campus and may be receiving communications from other units (Athletics, Wisconsin Union, S/C/D of a second degree, etc.).
Update Magazine is an alumni magazine published twice a year (spring and fall). The magazine features alumni stories, school news, and fun features. This magazine is sent to alumni and donors and is also available in digital format on our website. If you are interested in hard copies of the magazine, please see the Alumni Relations office.
The annual Report to Investors magazine is sent to any donor of $500 in the report year, as well as all donors with $25k+ lifetime giving to WSB. A digital version is also sent to all donors within the past 5 years. This publication focuses on donor stories, impact of funds at WSB, and stewardship of our top donors.
Business Casual is our alumni email newsletter that goes out every other month. The newsletter includes insider updates with news about our alumni, faculty, students, and programs in a easily digestible format.
Occasionally, we also send emails about school news, solicitations, or messages from leadership. These communications are typically sent to all alumni & recent donors to the school.
Alumni may also receive event invitations for any events put on by Alumni Relations, such as the annual Homecoming Bash, or events in their geographic region.
We are always interested in hearing about what our alumni are doing and how we can share their stories. If you have ideas for a story about an alum, please contact alumni@wsb.wisc.edu with the following details and we will review. Unfortunately, we are unable to publish every lead we receive, but the more suggestions we have, the more representative our publications can be of the diverse experiences of our alumni.
