Dear Friends,

Welcome to Alumni Park! Here,

between Lake Mendota and Langdon

Street, between Memorial Union and

the Red Gym, you’ll find a place that

celebrates you and our extraordinary

university.

In the pages of this book, you’ll learn

more about how Alumni Park came

to be. It’s a beautiful space.

But the park is more than beauty. It

also says something. Alumni Park

tells the story of what it means to

be a Badger. It’s an art gallery and

a museum and a storehouse for

the memories and achievements

that Badgers have created in the 17

decades since this great university

held its first class.

As far as I know, this is the only park

of its kind in the world. And as you

walk through the park — and as you

read through this book — I hope

you’ll take away three messages:

• Thank you. I’m grateful for all

the support that Alumni Park has

received from donors, advisers,

campus colleagues, and alumni

around the world.

• Congratulations. This park is a

product of your efforts, and it’s the

accomplishment of more than a

century of hope.

• Join the conversation. Alumni Park

is a place to be inspired by all that

UW alumni have done to make the

world a better place and to consider

what’s possible in our own lives.

But we don’t mean to have the final

word on the positive impact of a

UW–Madison education — rather,

we’re starting a discussion and

invite you to be a part of it.

Join me in exploring the park. Make

the space your own by starting new

traditions here:  photos with the

Bucky statue, picnics on the green,

nighttime strolls by the Badger Pride

Wall, long gazes across the lake from

Progress Point.

Thank you for helping us to make

Alumni Park a reality. Now, go out

there and enjoy it!

On, Wisconsin!

A LETTER FROM PAULA BONNER

As the force behind Alumni Park, Paula Bonner advocated

for creating a space that celebrates Badger ideals.

A PLAN 109 YEARS IN THE MAKING

THE EAST CAMPUS GATEWAY

Alumni Park opens in October 2017.

But that’s hardly the beginning of the

story. The first seed of the idea that

grew into Alumni Park was planted

more than a century ago. In the early

1900s, not long after the UW campus

extended east beyond Park Street,

campus leaders started thinking of

a way to develop a green, welcoming

main entry: what today we call the

East Campus Gateway.

In a 1908 campus plan, UW leaders

laid out a vision for a green, wel-

coming eastern entry to campus. But

their desire outstripped resources,

and as decades passed, the dream of

a park was deferred again and again.

It was revived in 2005, when then-

chancellor John Wiley MS’65, PhD’68

provided a new campus plan that

proposed an east-campus gateway

stretching from Lake Mendota to

the Kohl Center. Then–WAA presi-

dent Paula Bonner MS’78 took up the

challenge of giving that gateway a

focus. When she began to plan WAA’s

150th-anniversary celebrations, she

determined to create Alumni Park.

The park gives the UW a green space

that celebrates the university’s most

hallowed tradition: the Wiscon-

sin Idea. Over the next eight years,

Bonner led efforts to build excite-

ment among alumni, faculty, staff,

students, and the larger community.

This was the spiritual foundation for

Alumni Park, honoring the idea on

which the UW’s reputation stands.

GIVE IT A SPIN

The Loading Dock

If Paula Bonner’s vision gave a spiritual foundation to Alumni Park, its literal foundation required a bit of engineering.

Not long ago, the park site was a parking lot that provided freight loading for Memorial Union’s food-service operation, as well as for the Pyle Center and the Below Alumni Center. These functions were vital, but the park would get in their way. An anonymous donor provided funds to move the loading operation underground. This not only created a covered facility for moving materials in and out, it also gave a base to the park.

But the underground loading dock would be tight on space. To enable large trucks to turn around, it includes a giant turntable. Trucks can enter, drive onto the rotating floor, and then back up to whichever facility they need to deliver to or pick up from. The entire dock required 3,123 cubic yards of concrete, none of which you’ll see unless you’re invited into the loading dock. That’s what it takes to keep the green space green — and still fully functional.

Tucked throughout the park are the words of UW alumni,

inspiring visitors to live out the Wisconsin Idea.

There are 123 alumni names listed in

Alumni Park — 207 if you count do-

nors and those listed in One Alumni

Place — and no matter who you are,

when you graduated, or what your

degree is in, you’ll agree: that’s not

enough. UW–Madison’s alumni have

achieved so many things in so many

fields that no park could ever do

justice to the entirety of their accom-

plishments.

That’s okay: Paula Bonner MS’78 has

always said that the park isn’t meant

to be the final word in the conversa-

tion about which Badgers are most

significant.

“Actually, it’s meant to start that con-

versation,” she says. “The Wisconsin

Idea goes to the heart of what UW–

Madison stands for, and yet a lot of

our graduates leave campus without

learning what it means. We hope

that, as people start thinking about

what alumni are most ‘important’,

they’ll learn more about the Wiscon-

sin Idea, the many ways the univer-

sity and its graduates have made a

difference, and the value of the uni-

versity to this state.”

Creating the park’s content took

many months. Bonner first con-

vened focus groups of faculty and

staff from around campus, asking

them what they thought were the

best expressions of the Wisconsin

Idea. She then assembled a content-

and-design committee involving

alumni, the city, the state, and repre-

sentatives of campus and the Office

of the Chancellor.

That committee sought input from

the UW’s various schools, colleges,

interdisciplinary centers, libraries,

and others to generate a list of hun-

dreds of alumni who had achieved

important things in Wisconsin or

around the globe.

The result is the park you see today,

with a plan that allows exhibits and

alumni stories to be updated. And you

are part of the park’s story, as much

as the alumni featured in the exhib-

its. We invite you to tell us about your

alumni journey and which Badgers

have inspired you. Be sure to send

your list to AlumniPark.com. We’re

happy to continue the conversation.

CONTENT AND CONVERSATION

ALUMNI PARK CONTENT AND DESIGN

“If you want to be a Badger,” says the

pavement at the entrance to Alum-

ni Park’s pier, “just come along with

me.”

The lyric — from a classic Badger tune

— is a favorite of Mike Shannon ’80

and Mary Sue Goodspeed Shannon

’81, which is why they requested that

it be included in the pier that honors

Mary Sue’s family.

The Shannons enjoyed their time

on the lakefront when they were

UW students, and they offered the

lead gift to support Alumni Park and

the Memorial Union Reinvestment.

Their contribution to the Union

spurred the completion of Phase I of

that project, including renovations

to the Hoofers’ facilities and the

Wisconsin Union Theater (where

Shannon Hall now bears their name).

Their contribution to the park creat-

ed the pier — the first element to be

completed.

Goodspeed Family Pier opened in

June 2013. It includes 330 feet of lin-

ear boardwalk, with a permanent

section that stretches north from

the corner of One Alumni Place;

and a seasonal, floating section that

arrives each May from its storage

facility across the lake, and goes

back into storage each October. This

public dock can accommodate the

largest and smallest boats that ply

Lake Mendota, offering access to

the park (and campus) to those who

arrive by water.

Long before the park opened, the

pier became a popular spot for hun-

dreds of students and other visitors

who come to enjoy the sun and views

every summer day.

If you want to be a Badger, then this

is the place to be.

RIPPLES

If you look at Alumni Park from above — if, say, you have a drone or a hot-air balloon or a close friend who’s a very large bird — you’ll notice a recurring pattern of concentric circles: these represent ripples.

Why does Alumni Park have ripples? Not only is the park anchored by water (the lake on the north side, a fountain on the south), but ripples symbolize a movement away that grows wider and wider in its effect. Just as waves ripple outward when you drop a stone in water, so does the effect of the UW grow and spread when alumni leave campus, carrying what they have learned to the far ends of the earth. This is the essence of the Wisconsin Idea.

The one thing that all of the alumni represented in the park have in common is that they had an effect on the wider world. They — and you — are the ripples spreading out from this campus.

the pier is crowded with students and boaters.

Of all of the elements in Alumni Park,

the one that is most likely to become

the center of new traditions is the

statue of Bucky that stands near the

lakefront.

Sculptor Douwe Blumberg — known

for the America’s Response Monu-

ment in New York’s Liberty Park —

created the Bucky statue in bronze

and stainless steel, and he worked

with glass artist Dan Neil Barnes to

shape Bucky’s signature turtleneck

in stained glass. Blumberg came to

campus to study the nature of UW

students and to discover what Bucky

means. He then returned to his Ken-

tucky studio to create Bucky, before

transporting the statue to Wisconsin

for assembly in the park. The result is

a badger who’s more than a mascot:

his pose mixes the academic and the

spirited to present the full range of

the Wisconsin Experience.

One of Blumberg’s innovations is to

use interior lighting so that Bucky

will glow like a beacon at night. He

also posed Bucky sitting by stacks of

books to show that the UW is an aca-

demic powerhouse, as well as a place

that celebrates being a Badger. The

posture creates a stair-step effect so

that visitors can climb onto Bucky’s

lap or back for photos.

“Bucky isn’t just a symbol of Badger

athletics,” Paula Bonner MS’78 says.

“He serves to unite all UW–Madison

alumni, students, fans, and friends.

He’s something that everyone who

comes to campus can connect with —

no matter what their background is,

where they come from, or what era

they studied here. He absolutely had

to be in Alumni Park.”

CLASS ACTION

The Bucky statue was made possible by a gift from the Class of 1965, and a representative of that class joined the sculpture selection committee to help select Blumberg and approve his plan.

Other classes that devoted their class gifts to support Alumni Park include the Classes of 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, and 2014.

THE BUCKY STATUE

PHOTO OP

ART FRIENDS

Bucky sculptor Douwe Blumberg was selected from among many applicants by a specially appointed sculpture committee:

• Christine Manke, Chair

• Paula Bonner MS’78

• Gary Brown ’84

• Jack Edl ’65

• Paul Evans

• Bill Patek ’86, ’95

• Ann Schaffer ’72, MS’75, MFA’93

• Jeff Wiesner ’83

• Del Wilson

Douwe Blumberg poses with

the frame of the Bucky statue.

Much of Bucky’s body is

rendered in bronze and steel,

but the red and white stripes

of his turtleneck (left), as well

as the Motion W, are made

of stained glass. This not only

provides vivid color, but it

also enabled Blumberg to put

a light inside the statue.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE LIGHTS

SENTINELS

In each of Alumni Park’s 10 areas of distinction, there’s a sculpted lamp, which we call a sentinel, near ground level. The sentinels were created out of a white resin using three-dimensional printing, and each is in a shape that is meant to symbolize that area. Some of the concepts are a bit abstract, so their sentinels required creative thinking. What do these sentinels represent? Here’s a quick guide:

Government and Politics: This styl-

ized capitol dome stands for the

many alumni who have served in

elected or appointed office.

Ecology and Environment: Gaylord

Nelson LLB’42 founded Earth Day,

so we chose a figure of the earth to

stand for the UW’s contributions to

environmental science.

Food and Nutrition: Because Wis-

consin is the Dairy State, we created

a milk carton to stand for the UW’s

contributions to food science. This

should hold about a quart.

Health and Medicine: The UW is

one of the first universities to study

genetics, so we chose a DNA mole-

cule to stand for the university’s con-

tributions to health science.

Exploration: The Explorer 7 satellite

symbolizes the UW’s contribution to

space-based meteorology.

Arts and Humanities: Vitruvian

Woman (a nod to the sketch by Leon-

ardo da Vinci) symbolizes how alum-

ni have helped us to take a new look

at what it means to be human.

Media and Journalism: The UW has

long held a leading role in the devel-

opment and study of media, from

its collection of newspapers to the

development of Nielsen ratings.

Computers and Technology: This

cube, inscribed as a circuit board,

represents the ways in which UW

inventions underlie modern devel-

opments in mass computing.

Enterprise and Entrepreneurship:

Business is meant to take ideas to

the marketplace, so this light bulb

(denoting ideas) is inscribed with

currency symbols.

Education: Though the UW hard-

ly endorses phrenology as a sci-

ence, the marked head symbolizes

the many areas of study that UW–

Madison supports.

When Paula Bonner MS’78 talks

about Alumni Park, she talks about

it as a three-part entity: the park, the

pier, and the place.

The park is Alumni Park itself: the

1.3-acre green space. The pier is

the Goodspeed Family Pier. And

the place is One Alumni Place: the

reimagined Below Alumni Center,

which will now serve as a visitor and

information center for alumni and

others when they return to campus.

One Alumni Place reverses the

“front” of the Below Alumni Cen-

ter, which no longer looks east onto

Lake Street, but now faces west into

Alumni Park. It will offer event space

as well as a collection of books and

artifacts that highlight the alumni

experience.

The facility will also offer reception

and visitor services, giving alumni a

spot where they can touch down on

their arrival at the UW, learn about

what’s going on around campus, and

meet their fellow grads over a cup of

coffee or a seat by the fireplace. Its

most prominent exterior feature is

the rooftop deck, an outdoor gath-

ering space with spectacular views of

the park and the lake and, of course,

sunsets.

UW alumni have shaped the world, sometimes in surprising ways. Find tributes to

influential grads cut in stone. Above is a detail from a tribute sculpture in the park.

WORLD WIDE PARK

ALUMNIPARK.COM

If you feel that Alumni Park doesn’t

mention your favorite Badger, do not

fear: AlumniPark.com is the park’s

digital companion, and its mission

is to offer material about every UW

alumnus or alumna whom anyone

considers important to remember.

AlumniPark.com has been developed

in parallel to the physical park, and

it aims to be, among other things,

something of an “alumnipedia”: a

source of all possible information

about what it means to be a Badger.

If you have a question when you

visit the park, take out your phone

or mobile device. Want to know what

that image on the Badger Pride Wall

means? Check AlumniPark.com.

Want to know the context surround-

ing this alumna’s quotation? Alum-

niPark.com can help.

And if you can’t make it to the park

itself, you can still experience it dig-

itally. You can see what’s going on

today in the outdoor classroom, view

the exhibits, and read the stories of

impressive Badgers.

But the site’s most important func-

tion in the long term is encoded in

the ways in which it draws visitors to

take part in telling the park story —

whether they visit the physical park

or the digital park.

Online, we encourage Badgers to

share and explore: to post photos,

leave comments, or create a tribute

to an alumna or alumnus who they

think is vital.

Alumni Park is more than a place — it’s

an idea, a celebration of all that Bad-

gers do everywhere. We hope you’ll

visit AlumniPark.com regularly.

CARE TO SHARE?

Here’s the key thing about AlumniPark.com: it’s more about alumni than it is about the park.

In the park’s virtual world, we see more detailed articles about the alumni who are featured in the exhibits, and we learn about the symbols and traditions that are highlighted in artwork and installations.

But AlumniPark.com is also a place where Badgers can come together to share their favorite alumni stories — about themselves, their friends and family, their mentors, or other UW grads.

When you visit AlumniPark.com, click on the “Share” feature to upload pictures, leave comments, or create a tribute to UW–Madison alumni who you feel exemplify the Wisconsin Idea.

Alumni Park is your place. Be sure that your ideas are a part of it.

1 8 1 9

You may not notice it right away, but

the park’s content is arranged care-

fully to tell an overarching story:

the story of the Wisconsin Idea. It’s

presented as a tale of development

— a “hero’s journey” — with the hero

of that story being every Badger who

comes to study at the UW. The Wis-

consin Idea is presented as a series

of five stages: service, discovery,

tradition, leadership, and progress.

These are the steps that our alum-

ni pass through as they learn what

it means to be Badgers: to carry the

beneficent influence of the univer-

sity out into the world. Throughout

the park, alumni are presented as

exemplars of these principles. As you

pass through, see if you can spot all

of the Badgers listed here. When you

read their words and learn what they

have accomplished, you’ll find your-

self inspired.

From the welcome plaza on Langdon

Street to Progress Point overlook-

ing Lake Mendota, more than 100

UW–Madison alumni are named in

the exhibits in Alumni Park. The list

features a cross-section of achieve-

ment across more than a century and

a half of the university’s existence.

There are many great stories

encoded in Alumni Park, One Alum-

ni Place, and the Goodspeed Family

Pier. One of these is evident through-

out the three components: this en-

tire space is a gift from alumni to

their alma mater. The whole Alumni

Park complex was built with private

funds: more than 4,000 total gifts,

large and small, from generations of

graduates and friends.

Some of these are large gifts, given

openly with the hope of inspiring

other Badgers to join the project.

Many of these donors are honored on

Alumni Way’s Tradition panel. Some

of the gifts were made by anonymous

donors, and we’re just as grateful to

them, even though we don’t list their

names. And a great many gifts were

made in smaller sums by individuals

and groups — which include six grad-

uating classes (and counting).

We’re grateful to every Badger who

made a gift to support Alumni Park

because each one is a statement of

belief in this project and its impor-

tance.

We regret that we don’t have space to

list every donor’s name in this book.

You’re a group that represents the

entire UW–Madison community, all

schools and colleges, every state in

the nation, 18 countries around the

world, and every generation. Please

see AlumniPark.com for recognition

of all who supported Alumni Park

and One Alumni Place. Thank you,

loyal Badgers, for making this proj-

ect happen.

THANK YOU, FRIENDS OF ALUMNI PARK
