The department of Student Employment announced Madelyn Filer has been selected as the 2025 Student Employee of the Year. Among other on-campus jobs, Filer is an undergraduate research assistant with the Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Engineering Center Outreach Lab.
Some of their many accomplishments in this role include:
- Collaborating and creating semi-custom ride-on-cars for children with various medical diagnoses under tight (monthly) build days via the Go Baby Go! Milwaukee program.
- Organizing and running two large volunteer toy build days with the Inclusive Play program in which high school and university students work together to modify switches on 240 adapted toys.
- Leading efforts with other research assistants and the Children’s Wisconsin therapists to successfully produce and organize pick up for four cars per month — all while Molly Erickson (supervisor) was on maternity leave. Upon Erickson’s return, Filer concisely organized and communicated all that had been done.
- Co-leading the Honors Peer Mentors, where participants support younger undergraduate students with weekly mentor sessions and teaching support for the Biomedical Engineering Freshman lab.
The office would like to share a thank you to all student employees for the invaluable work they do at Marquette.
