What Is Wisconsin Union Directorate?

Wisconsin Union Directorate (WUD) is the student programming and leadership board for the Wisconsin Union. We're the students who organize, promote and execute some of the best experiences and events you can get outside the classroom.

What Do We Do

This year, WUD is determined to come together and provide students with new experiences delivered in new ways.  We work hard to connect you with other students in shared experiences.

Lead Your Union: 

WUD Officers and Directors ensure that there are always fun and engaging experiences for campus. These leaders are responsible for organizing committees that plan and promote a diverse array of events and opportunities to enrich the campus and greater Madison community.

Applications for WUD Leadership for the '25-'26 Academic are open!

Want to plan events with us? Learn how to get involved here.

Want even more involvement? Join a Union Council Advisory Board! All UW-Madison students, staff and faculty members, and alumni are welcome to attend any subcommittee's meetings. Meeting dates and times can be found here.

These (mostly free) events, sponsored by Wisconsin Union Directorate committees, are intended for UW-Madison students, faculty, staff and Union members and guests.
