ABOUT THE VARSITY COLLECTIVE
The Varsity Collective is anchored in two purposes:
- Help student-athletes maximize their NIL through education, support and partnerships with community organizations.
- Equip student-athletes with lifelong insights and mentorship provided by Wisconsin alumni and former athletes at the top of professional fields like sports, finance, entrepreneurship, entertainment, marketing and communications and more.
LIFE CURRENCY ™
Life Currency is The Varsity Collective’s unique platform for student-athletes to learn from alumni athletes, businesspeople and professionals at the top of their fields across a wide range of career disciplines.
By providing mentorships and meaningful insights for every stage of the college experience and beyond, we’re elevating Badger student-athletes and helping them build a professional network for life beyond their college experience.
