We extend our sincere gratitude to the sponsors whose generous support makes the 2026 Wisconsin Higher Education Summit possible. Hosted May 19–21, 2026, at UW–Madison’s Memorial Union, the Summit is jointly organized by the Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (WAICU), the Universities of Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Technical College System.

The Summit brings together higher education leaders, practitioners, and policymakers for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and action focused on policy, compliance, innovation, and student success—creating space for forward‑looking conversations that strengthen institutions and expand opportunity for students across Wisconsin and beyond.

We are especially thankful to our Platinum Sponsor, Husch Blackwell, whose leadership and expertise help ensure the Summit remains a trusted and timely forum during a period of significant change for higher education. We also gratefully acknowledge our Gold Sponsor, Transamerica, and our Book Sponsor, Pathify. We also share our deepest thanks with our Silver Sponsors, Acadeum, Fiducient Advisors (A Wealthramp Company), KW2, Marsh, Forvis Mazars, M3 Insurance, SAGE Scholars, and Workday, for their invaluable partnership and commitment to higher education.

Together, our sponsors make it possible to deliver high‑quality programming, nationally recognized speakers, and professional development opportunities that benefit campuses, communities, and students statewide. Your support is instrumental in advancing shared goals around access, equity, and student success, and we are deeply grateful for your investment in this important work.
