What does student advocacy mean to me?

In the UW-Madison community, advocacy is essential in empowering students to use their voice and shape their campus experience in a meaningful and inclusive way. It helps connect students and administration by creating space for dialogue, action, and accountability, and allows for every Badger to be heard and supported.

Why do you think DOSAB is important?

DOSAB is important because it brings the student voice directly to campus leadership, ensuring decisions are being made with student perspectives at the center. Each member of DOSAB brings something different to the table, allowing for a diverse group of perspectives on issues that matter.
