What does student advocacy mean to me?

Advocacy promotes inclusion, which is crucial not only for students but for the entire Madison community. Advocacy works to enhance lives and ensures future generations can thrive in a finer and more confident world. Advocacy is not easy and it takes strength, there is resilience in advocacy and without it the world would look vastly different.

Why do you think DOSAB is important?

DOSAB gives students a platform to express their thoughts and opinions to enhance campus life. It acts as a liaison between students and administration, ensuring that student perspectives are communicated to the administration. This helps bridge the gap between the two parties, fostering mutual understanding and working together to improve the Badger community.
