Name: Mae Hurtado-Thiele
Hometown: Milwaukee, WI
Year/Major: Graduated May 2023 with a degree in Genetics and Genomics with a certificate in Leadership.

Mae was extremely involved throughout her time at UW-Madison. She held an abundance of roles on campus, including a student lead historical researcher, academic chair of the Undergraduate Genetics Association, Undergraduate research in the Judith Simcox Lab, president and co-captain of the Club Field Hockey team, and ambassador for the UW-Madison College of Agricultural & Life Sciences. When Mae talks about her Leadership Certificate experience, she acknowledges that it has helped her grow into the student, scientist, and leader that she is today. The most influential part of the certificate was her ability to reflect on her strengths and shortcomings. Mae has worked incredibly hard to establish herself as a leader to young women and Hispanic students in STEM. She is proud to have built a network of diverse individuals who share similar goals with the mindset of turning them into a reality.

Each interview she has done, policy she has advocated for, and person she has encountered informs her understanding of the issues which most influentially shape our country, democracy, and social interactions. Tamia has always sought to utilize her platform to serve as an advocate and leader for her peers and community while maintaining an elevated consciousness about the changes occurring in the world around her. Through her work, Tamia has been granted a unique opportunity to facilitate meaningful work that places power into the hands of underrepresented, unheard communities.

Name: Katelyn McVay
Hometown: New Castle, PA
Year/Major: Graduated May 2022 with degrees in Global Health, Environmental Studies, and Botany; Leadership Certificate

Katelyn started college at the University of Pittsburgh and transferred to Wisconsin because she wanted to be somewhere that took her out of her comfort zone and enabled her to be her best self. While this is exactly what transferring did for Katelyn, her transition to UW-Madison was not exactly easy at first. However, Katelyn joined programs that helped her become acclimated to the campus and became a leader both on and off campus. Her personal and academic background has inspired her efforts to promote inclusion on campus and to advocate for environmental equity. She has been actively involved in environmental justice work through the Community Environmental Scholars Program and has supported students as a Housefellow and WISCIENCE Research Peer Leader. She is also passionate about research and promoting environmental and urban activism through studying environmental issues. From her own experience, Katelyn knows there is a large opportunity gap for people of certain backgrounds to succeed in relation to their peers. Katelyn will be pursuing a graduate degree in Environmental Planning and Policy and hopes to become an academic researcher in order to use her privilege of education to further advocate for the issues she cares about.

Name: Lily Hansen
Hometown: San Anselmo, CA

The Leadership framework sharpened Lily’s skills and after graduating in May, she will be directing a program at my overnight camp for young adults with disabilities.

What is it?

The Leadership & Involvement Record, or L&I Record, is an online tool for students to track leadership and involvement experiences in a centralized location throughout their years at UW Madison.

Purpose

The Leadership & Involvement Record is a document administered through the Office for Student Organizations, Leadership & Involvement (formerly CfLI) recording the leadership roles, student org involvement, or group membership students have had on campus. The L&I Record can also include community service activities, intramural sports, research and more.  Your L&I Record can be accessed through the Wisconsin Involvement Network (WIN) website.

What are the benefits?

• Allows students to track involvement in one place
• Serve as a great way to record and organize campus involvement
• Verify out-of-classroom activities to employers
• Assist with completing graduate school applications
• Assist with the development of resumes
• Provide to individuals writing letters of reference
