The energy, enthusiasm, and Business Badger pride was palpable at WSB’s 2024 Homecoming Bash on October 26! Over 250 alumni and friends gathered at Grainger Hall on a beautiful autumn afternoon to enjoy outdoor games, a tailgate-style dinner, live music, new giveaways, and a visit from the always-entertaining Bucky Badger. After the Bash, many alums headed to Camp Randall for an evening of Badger football under the stars.
