MSU rowing coach Kim Chavers has announced the addition of Maddie Shellgren to the Spartan rowing staff. Shellgren is a former collegiate rower at the University of Vermont and spent seven seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at Michigan State.
Shellgren is no stranger to the Michigan State rowing program, serving as a volunteer assistant coach for the Spartans from 2011-17. Prior to joining the Rowing staff, Shellgren served as Program Director for the Michigan State Graduate School, where she designed and lead programs meant to onboard educators to teaching at MSU. She also worked for the College of Arts and Letters’ Citizen Scholars Program, an undergraduate program designed to prepare future change-oriented leaders, engaged citizens, and globally-aware scholars.
Before the Graduate School and the College of Arts and Letters, Shellgren taught a variety of undergraduate courses for 6 years at MSU and Davenport University. She brings with her a history of working in educator professional development and a dedication to building new and effective models of professional development, serving as a program lead for two large international conferences (OLC Innovate and OLC Accelerate), a lead designer for a cross-institutional project, and an lead team member for an innovative collaboration within MSU (known as “The #iteachmsu Digital Commons,” which aims to build meaningful connections across educator roles within the University and develop pathways for educators (coaches included) to grow in their practice).
She also currently co-coordinates the Leadership Institute at Michigan State University, where she trains and advises graduate-student led, change-oriented work. In addition to her educator background, she leverages her knowledge of Michigan State University policies related to teaching and learning and expertise in community building and diversity, equity, and inclusion, in order to support Spartans both in the classroom, at practice, and in life.
Shellgren rowed at the University of Vermont and was a team captain from 2006-10. Shellgren received her bachelor’s degree with a double major in Spanish and an individually designed major in Linguistics and minors in Latin American Studies and Communication Sciences in 2010. She would go on to earn her master’s degree in Linguistics from the University of Toronto in 2011 and is currently working towards a doctoral degree in writing and rhetoric (with a research focus on institutional change within higher ed) from Michigan State University.
