To cultivate a community of equality, collaboration, and creativity and to prepare females to excel in the advertising world.

Mad Gals put a special focus this year into bringing women from the ad industry to speak with the Adlab. We were fortunate enough to be inspired by powerhouse women like Terri and Sandy and many others. So far this year we’ve brought 10 different women to speak with the program!
6/8: Women in Ad Panel - Charolette Keneipp, Katie Mellor, Elise Davis, Brooke Camit, Ari Alius
10/15: Terri Meyer + Sandy Greenberg
11/19: Account Panel - Megan Pendleton, Jessica Collings, Stephanie Barlow
Getting into the Adlab is both exciting and overwhelming. We strive to cultivate an environment of inclusion and acceptance. A longstanding tradition is helping newer students in the program find their place in the Adlab. Each semester, Mad Gals hosts a night to get to know the new kids and answer any questions they may have about the various disciplines or the advertising world!

2020 was one
hell of a year...
... so we made a recap to remember the happy
moments too!
Mad Gals isn't just Mamma Mia watch parties and de-stress yoga nights. Uncomfortable conversations have been had. We have been vigilant this year to protect the representation and inclusivity of women. We have been pushing for an annual equity survey especially (created by Rachel Langston and London Halls). We have yet to see it be implemented, but we are anticipating a launch soon and continue to put in the work to make the lab, industry, and world more accepting for all.
