Fun Facts About Madison Overbey:

  1. What is your favorite quote?
    "Compassion is the radicalism of our time" - The Dalai Lama
  2. What inspires you?
    The humans around me! I love to talk, share, and collaborate with those in my circles – they are always challenging me and my thinking, ultimately making me a better human being. When I am able to share excitement with a student or client that I work with, I get all the more jazzed.
  3. What is your favorite book and why?
    Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town by John Krakauer. It isn’t necessarily a bright story – but it’s a powerful narrative that led me to the field that I am in today and ignited my passion for working with and supporting college students. I read it as an undergraduate student for one of my political science classes and have re-read it almost every year since. It has really encouraged me to become the type of human on campus that can be a confidant to students who might need a safe space to vent/breath/be.
  4. What is your favorite music and why?
    Lately, my absolute favorite music has come from CAAMP, a folky band from Ohio. While I listen to absolutely any kind of music, I love alternative and indie genres the most. You can anticipate hearing bangers from CAAMP, Beyoncé, Fall Out Boy, Hot Mulligan, etc. softly playing in my office most any day!
