Molly Madden Receives 2025 Young Alumni Award From DePauw University

Corporate associate Molly Madden received the 2025 Young Alumni Award from DePauw university for her service to her alma mater.

Madden graduated summa cum laude from DePauw in 2018 as a philosophy and environmental biology double major and also joined Alpha Phi. She serves on the university’s GOLD Alumni Board and regularly advocates for DePauw students and young alumni throughout Indiana. Most notably, she founded the Tiger-Led Legal Aid: Putnam County Pro Bono Legal Clinic at the Putnam County Courthouse, an initiative that provides critical legal support to those who otherwise would not have access.

“Even as a junior attorney and young professional, I see how relatively easy it is to pull other people up the ladder, even if you only have a single foot on the bottom rung yourself,” Madden noted in her acceptance speech. “There is no group more deserving than the current generation of motivated, kind, and intelligent DePauw students...I want to encourage everyone to serve as that point of connection, serve as the outstretched hand ready to pull others up, and be that friendly face that makes a big, disconnected world feel small. It's the Tiger way.”
