Madelyn Clark ’21 will take over as director of student activities at the end of the semester, replacing current director Zane Mabry ’20. Mabry plans to move to South Bend, Indiana, after marrying Hadiah Ritchey ’20 in June.
“I am very excited to join the SAB squad,” Clark said. “As a student at Hillsdale, I always thought it would be fun to be a part of the SAB team, and I am excited to be able to do that post-college.”
Clark graduated in December and was a member of the Hillsdale volleyball team.
“It is tough to be leaving, but SAB will be in good hands with Maddie,” Mabry said. “She has a good head on her shoulders and I am excited to see her take things over.”
Clark is currently working in the Student Activities Office with Mabry.
“I am shadowing him while he is helping me learn the ropes of being the director of student activities,” she said.
Junior Carly Boerema, a member of SAB’s creative team, said Mabry will “definitely be missed.”
“Zane’s leadership has carried this team through some amazing events,” Boerema said. “I’ve learned so much about diligence, humility, and true servant-leadership from Zane.”
She added that the group is “incredibly blessed” to have Clark stepping into the role.
“I’ve already witnessed her passion for the mission of SAB in the short time since she’s joined the team,” she said. “I appreciate the way Maddie has integrated herself into the team dynamics in such an intentional and kind manner.”
Clark will continue to work with Mabry through the semester.
“I think both Maddie and Zane have handled this season of transition well, which speaks to their character and love for this team,” Boerema said.
