Candace McDowell has seen UW-Madison through many lenses: as a student in the late 1960s when the Afro-American Student Center was created as a result of student protests, as a Black student recruiter during the 1980s who had to sell the campus to students who had concerns about visible racial incidents that had occurred and as the director of the UW Multicultural Student Center for 22 years where she provided students of color a “home” where they could relax and recharge and get vital information that would contribute to their success at UW-Madison.
