Madison became a sociology major after taking some sociology classes in his first two years at UB. He said: “I found it extremely interesting to study things that affect my everyday life but typically never think about.” He says he enjoys his sociology coursework because: “I feel that it is very important to study communities and cultures different from your own because you will not always be having interactions with people exactly the same as you.”

Madison says that after graduation, he plans to pursue a graduate degree in public health, education, or sociology. He says that studying sociology will allow him to find a job where “I can affect a broad scale of people in a lively, everchanging environment where I will never truly be bored.”
