Madison Patrick to pursue further education
by Billy Chandler
Our Emory & Henry seniors are preparing to graduate and change the world.
Madison Patrick of Saltville, Va. will participate in the commencement ceremony on May 7, 2022, for earning her bachelor’s degree in psychology. Patrick was a member of Phi Eta Sigma and the Psi Chi honor societies.
Patrick has been working for Washington County DSS as a Family Service Specialist in Child Protective Services since December of 2021. “Emory & Henry taught me how to love learning,” Patrick said.
Patrick is a first-generation college graduate.
