2022 Recipient Parnika Shukla
Parnika is emblematic of the Morgridge Center’s mission of connecting campus and community through service, service-learning and community-based research to build a thriving democratic society.
Her involvement with our center includes participation in the Badger Volunteers program, as a tutor at East High School, and having completed two Community-based Learning courses: Building Academic, Social and Emotional Support (BASES) & Service with Youth in STEM.
Parnika currently serves as the housing equity intern for the Social Justice Hub, coordinating students to provide services and supplies for folks experiencing homelessness. She has learned the importance of empowerment, communication, and serving others.
The Be the Change Bash is the Morgridge Center’s annual end-of-the-semester celebration. The Bash honors students, staff, faculty and community partners who contribute their time and talents to both the community and the UW-Madison campus through service.
The event also includes the Morgridge Center’s annual award ceremony.
