MADISON VELA OF SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, a junior pitcher on the softball team from Odem, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Character & Community Female Student-Athlete of the Week for the week beginning March 4.

The SCAC Character & Community award honors the efforts of student-athletes who excel in the field of athletics, and also serve their campus and community.



Madison is greatly involved in SIRA (Southwestern Intramural and Recreational Activities) and Student Foundations on campus and hopes to pursue a career in social media marketing and communications after graduation. Her involvement within these two campus groups has helped her gain some viable experience, all while organizing events within the community.

Madison served as Homecoming Chair for her Student Foundations role and she helped maintain and build relationships with alumni. Specifically, the junior was in charge of operations and setup for the tailgate celebration at the homecoming football game.

Madison is thankful for her time at Southwestern as an athlete and as an event organizer within the Southwestern community.
