Madison Dye
Psychology Major

Madison Dye, class of 2024, went to Oak Hill High School. Her main activities in addition to her studies include cheerleading, walking her dog, and working. She began attending Concord University in 2021, and chose a psychology major with an emphasis in criminology. Madison chose CU because it’s a legacy in her family, following in the footsteps of her father, grandparents, and beyond, who all attended Concord. Some of her favorite memories of her time at Concord revolve around competing at Disney with the cheer team! When asked about something many don’t know about her, she relates, “In high school, I took a four-year course and completed various trainings for an aerospace engineering program learning how to operate a flight simulator!”
