Photo gallery Badgers on the move

March 8, 2024

Badgers across campus celebrated Active Badger Day on March 7 with more than 20 events, from yoga to bowling, basketball, a food drive and free smoothie samples. Recreation & Wellbeing hosts the event annually to encourage members of the University of Wisconsin–Madison community to be active, get fit and live well.
