Madison Academic and Athletic Exchange
Mission
The Madison Athletic and Academic Exchange (MAAX) operates from the premise that academic and athletic excellence can and should be thought of as complementary endeavors.
To that end, MAAX programming emphasizes the ways those very qualities that lend themselves to athletic performance (e.g., discipline, rigor, self-reflection) can prove to be valuable assets in the classroom.
In so doing, we hope to heighten students understanding of and respect for themselves as students, athletes, and scholars.
Structure
MAAX pursues its interests and aims through critical reading, writing, and discussion exercises on the question of academic and athletic "practice"
Students participate in the MAAX program at the University and High-School levels. Members include male and female student-athletes from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, academically and athletically qualified high school sophomores and juniors, and other interested students, scholars, and community members.
