Notable graduates: Tiffany Trzebiatowski — A leader is born

An undergraduate double-majoring in management and human resources and economics, Tiffany Trzebiatowski has already shown a penchant for organizing and growing companies.

As president of the Society of Human Resource Management chapter at the Wisconsin School of Business this spring, she was responsible for increasing its membership from 60 to 140 members and restructuring the organization's vision and strategy.

As you trek back through her time at UW-Madison, you will discover a similar story no matter what her involvement. Working alongside Wisconsin School of Business faculty and staff this year, Trzebiatowski served as the first undergraduate teaching assistant for MHR 300: Organizational Behavior, helping to shape course content and assignments around the needs of undergraduate students and their future recruiters.

Starting off four years ago as a volunteer coordinator for PAVE (Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment), she now chairs the student organization whose mission it is to end sexual assault, dating and domestic violence. As leader of a seven-member team of students, she has been responsible for overseeing and motivating the organization in the development and design of campus outreach efforts, campaigns, and a 2-credit peer-to-peer course offered through the School of Social Work.

Recently, she earned a coveted Leadership certificate from the University of Wisconsin Student Leadership Certificate Program, recognizing her commitment through leadership roles, academic courses, civic engagement, out-of-class learning, and work experience.

At the end of August, she will be traveling to South Korea to teach English as a second language for a year. Her professional goal is to obtain a doctorate degree in management and human resources and continue to contribute to the research field.
