Madison Bick is a nursing major and member of the Pierre Laclede Honors College at the University of Missouri - St. Louis (UMSL). While involved in several volunteer activities off campus that directly impact underserved and/or in-crisis populations ranging from teens with learning disabilities to flood victims, it is her passion and dedication to service to her peers-particularly first-generation students-which motivates her key efforts on campus.

Madison also serves as a peer tutor for the biology department; a peer health educator for UMSL Triton Health Educators; and is an award-winning member of the Residential Life staff.

Personal Statement

My school is located in a lower-income urban neighborhood. Many students on my campus are first-generation college attendees, and most have extensive hopes and dreams for their futures. I am passionate about the vitally transformative impact higher education has on the lives of such students, and I've seen this first-hand in my experience as a student leader. I work as a first-year experience (FYE) mentor one-on-one and with groups of new students to ensure successful academic and social transitions during the first year of college. I am a huge proponent of early and active intervention, so I also work daily as a residential peer mentor, providing in-house tutoring, mentoring, and support for residential freshmen and sophomores. I work under my campus's Residential Education Coordinator and Honors FYE Coordinator to create opportunities that help my students develop meaningful connections and experiences across campus. I also work to initiate events and programs that promote long-term success in my students' academic careers through the Honors College, FYE program, and Residential Life. My goal is to help students feel a sense of belonging and purpose, and to instill the knowledge that they're each valued and significant parts of what makes our campus "home."
