Megan Miller has been engaged with the Morgridge Center and its program since her time in undergrad, here at UW–Madison.
After her undergraduate career and work with AmeriCorps, Megan joined the Morgridge Center team as the assistant director of civic engagement and communications, leading the Morgridge Center’s co-curricular programming.
Even after leaving the Morgridge Center, Megan continues to advocate for voter access and encourages students to remain civically engaged.
