Caring for Madison in the News

Eli Tsarovsky has never passed up an opportunity to be an example of what it means to care for our community in our local news. Check out some highlights below!

“I think overall people are excited about the idea of finally making part of State Street a pedestrian mall,” said Elias Tsarovsky, president of the Campus Area Neighborhood Association. “You can see the potential with recent crowds of people coming out to enjoy the Downtown Night Market hosted by the Central Business Improvement District that a pedestrian mall can be feasible. We will do everything we can do to help out and make it successful.”

That’s the right attitude.

This summer should mark the beginning of State Street’s next chapter. Let the people have more space to walk, eat, explore, engage and have fun in the heart of Madison.

"I guess a line through a lot of my work is trying to make the world a better place. And trying to make people feel cared for. I feel like one thing I do in a lot of my work is find links. Trying to spread the love, in a way, and showing people that there’s a lot of stuff out there that you will be accepted in, and people want you to be there. I try to bring that in all different realms of my work in a way through stuff I do..."

“Not only are we trying to push the idea that we need affordable housing, but we also need quality affordable housing that does not violate tenant rights,” Tsarovsky said.

"As the president of the Campus Area Neighborhood Association (CANA), current MPA-MPH student Eli Tsarovsky has worked to open up conversations on local developments, issues, and licensing in Madison while promoting civic engagement and ensuring that all voices are equitably heard in the Madison community."

"This was one of our most collaborative projects," Tsarovsky said. "Through this neighborhood process, we were able to connect with people who lived in the Greenbush neighborhood to talk about the immense culture and beauty of the neighborhood that existed at the old Bush and the struggles that these people went through during the urban renewal in the '60s."

“At the end of the day, this event is not about the organizations involved,” said Tsarovsky. “This event is survivor-centered and meant to empower and stand in solidarity with survivors in our community.”

For those that cannot attend, campus organizers hope individuals will share resources across social media platforms. 

“We see you, hear you and believe you,” Tsarovsky said to survivors. “You will never walk alone.”

Tsarovsky said the university aimed to improve UW’s mental health resources and connect students to resources they may not know exist to support them.

 

“It was an idea elevated from a student and a way to collaborate with campus partners across campus, and Eli was a part of the planning team, to really bring Eli’s vision to life and have an impact on his fellow Badgers,” Olstad said.
