The Brittingham Viking Organization has been making academic, social and professional connections between UW-Madison and Scandinavia for more than 50 years. The organization was founded in 1953 by Thomas E. Brittingham Jr. to bring Nordic students to UW-Madison. Soon after, a program was instituted that provided scholarships for UW-Madison students to study in Scandinavia, and since then, hundreds have benefited from the program. Once students participate in a BVO program, they become members of the organization, which raises funds to sustain the scholarships for future generations.
