GPU
Started on the UW-Madison campus in July 2001, the Wisconsin Alumni Association and
UW-Extension Family Living Programs offer Grandparents University® (GPU) each summer.
This award-winning, two-day workshop is a chance for children (recommended ages 7-14) and
their grandparents to come together and learn from each other in a dynamic atmosphere on the
UW campus. What better way for grandparents and grandchildren to spend time together than
sharing stories, reliving and creating memories, and earning a degree together from UW-Madison?
Grandparents and grandchildren brought a burst of energy to the UW-Madison campus in July, as a record number of students young and old packed university classrooms and labs ready to learn at the 11th annual Grandparents University®. Take a look back at some of the exciting moments from this year’s sessions!
