Career development coordinator joins staff

The La Follette School welcomes Mary Russell as its new career development coordinator.

To help students

To learn more about how alumni and friends can help for La Follette School students, contact Career Development Coordinator Mary Russell, (608) 263-2409, .

Russell has six years of career services experience, four of them as the director of career services at Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa. She holds a master's degree in postsecondary education: student affairs from the University of Northern Iowa and a bachelor’s degree from Iowa State University.

Prior to joining the La Follette School, Russell served one year as with AmeriCorps VISTA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Office of Service Learning and Community Based Research in the College of Letters and Science.

“Mary’s career services experience and familiarity with UW-Madison promise to be a boon for La Follette School students, as well as for alumni and friends seeking interns and employees,” says La Follette School Director Barbara Wolfe.
