Madie espouses many of the qualities inherent in a solid Student Affairs Professional. In her roles as a Health Promotion Specialist and Confidential Campus Advocate, Madie works tirelessly to remove barriers for students and to enable them to reach their educational and professional goals.  She values being student-centered and strives to be inclusive when working with students. Because of her outreach and educative efforts on campus, Madie has had more students seek out her services as a confidential advocate in the 8 months since she was hired than in the three previous years.  As an example of her hard work, vision, educational efforts, and collaborative work with campus and community partners, Madie held the first UWT Denim Day last Spring. (Denim Day takes place on the last Wednesday of April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This day of action and awareness is an event in which people are encouraged to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence. https://www.denimdayinfo.org/ [denimdayinfo.org]
