Madeline Kalda is known in the SKULE community for holding more grudges than positions. She is a welder & machinist, a notable exclusion from the BFC, and a Friend Of EngSoc.
==Student Governance==
Madeline was an Executive Assistant at the University of Toronto Students' Union over the 2021-22 school year, where she researched the Policy on Sexual Violence & Sexual Harassment and the University-Mandated Leave of Absences Policy (now called the Supportive Leaves Policy).<ref>https://www.utsu.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/2-_-Final-Report.pdf</ref> <ref>https://www.utsu.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2-_-Final-Report-1.pdf</ref>
Following her term as an EA, she was elected to the Governing Council as an Undergraduate Student Governor (Constituency II). There, her continued advocacy with regards to mental health and sexual violence policies is one of several reasons that the University introduced voluntary leave policies for all students (previously voluntary leave had only been available to international students in extenuating circumstances).
She returned to the UTSU for the summer of 2023, where she identified that its recent governance restructuring put it in violation of the 2015 Associate Membership Agreement Between EngSoc and the UTSU. When UTSU leadership was dismissive, she left the organization and prepared a report for EngSoc.<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DWdc351r6HFd8jkHRUR2UlZrK1PQ927Q/view</ref>
For her behind-the-scenes contributions to student governance she was awarded the UTSU Professional Faculties Leadership Scholarship and the University of Toronto Student Leadership Award.
