Sponsorship Opportunities

Every sponsorship, contribution, and golfer registration directly supports the UW-Madison Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, empowering us to strengthen the educational experience of our students through: 

  • Valuable hands-on learning and leadership opportunities outside of the classroom including conferences and competitions
  • Upgrades to laboratories, equipment, and technology that empower cutting-edge research and learning methods
  • Events that celebrate CEE Badger accomplishments, increase program awareness, and build connections with our alumni community

Our department is able to maintain a level of quality and a tradition of excellence through the generosity of our alumni and golf outing sponsors.
