We are excited to welcome Madeline Gonzalez as the new Marketing and Communication Intern for the Fall 2025 semester at UW–Madison Division of Extension in Brown County. In this role, Madeline will support the promotion of Extension programs through strategic content creation, social media management, and community outreach.

We’re thrilled to have her on board and look forward to the creativity and enthusiasm she brings to our team!
