Kari Temkin honored with SoHE Early Career Alumni Award

Badger Volunteers Coordinator Kari Temkin has been honored with the UW–Madison School of Human Ecology’s 2016 Early Career Alumni Award. The annual award recognizes outstanding graduates who have received a degree or certificate from a program within the School of Human Ecology in the past 10 years. Selection is based both on demonstrated achievement and leadership within a chosen field and potential for continued growth and success. Temkin, who earned a bachelor’s degree in Community & Nonprofit studies from the School of Human Ecology in 2009, has been with the Morgridge Center for Public Service since May 2014. “The School of Human Ecology launched me into a career where I could put my values into action every single day, and for that I am eternally grateful,” Temkin said. “Being a human ecologist has poised me to be a compassionate and productive leader, which aligns well with the work I do at Morgridge Center for Public Service. “I am humbled and honored to receive this recognition and immensely proud to be a School of Human Ecology alumna.” Congratulations to Kari!
