Senior Spotlight 🎓Olivia Lemanski @olivialemanski
At the #WisconsinInvitational, we asked participants, “What has been the most impactful part of this event?”
Senior Spotlight 🎓 Elia Saltzman @elia.saltzman
📣 “My time at WSB has been the best four years! During my time at the @wisconsinschoolofbusiness, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. I’m proud to have served as the President of Women in Business and the Vice President of Strategy & Operations for Badger Consulting, where I worked to support and uplift students through meaningful programming and mentorship. I also studied abroad in a full Spanish immersion program in Seville, Spain!
A major highlight of my college experience was getting the chance to speak at a conference for the Taco Bell Foundation about my passion and love for business and entrepreneurship, and meet with the CEO and Head of PR for Taco Bell!
I’m proud to be graduating with a triple major in Finance, Marketing and International Business with certificates in Spanish and European Studies. After graduation, I’m excited to be joining SC Johnson as a Brand Manager, where I’ll continue to explore my love for brand strategy and impactful storytelling.”
Congratulations to Olivia and the class of 2025! 🥳🙌🦡

📣 “I am so grateful for my time at @uwmadison, specifically the @wisconsinschoolofbusiness, for making me a stronger leader, thinker, and learner. The highlight of my academic career was founding Madison Marketing @madisonmarketinguw and watching it grow into an amazing organization that now serves 10 local Madison businesses with over 100 members.
This past summer I interned for Walt Disney Studios @disneystudios in their marketing department which would not have been possible without WSB, and I am looking forward to continuing my career in entertainment marketing after graduation. Thank you to Wisconsin, my professors, and all my peers who have made the last 4 years so incredible!”
This May, Elia will be graduating with a degree in Marketing and International Business with a certificate in French. Congratulations to Elia and the class of 2025! 🥳🙌🦡
