MILWAUKEE - Women's soccer player Josie Kelderman is the Baird Blue & Gold Student-Athlete of the Month for June 2022, as chosen by Marquette Athletics' Academics and Student Programs staff. Kelderman is a rising senior on the women's soccer team, majoring in corporate communications with minors in public relations and political science. She has earned Dean's List and Athletic Director's Honor Roll every semester, and the Dean's Scholar list for achieving over a 3.7 GPA each semester. The Glendale, Wisconsin native was inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma (honor society for college athletes) this past year and is a two-time BIG EAST All-Academic Team selection.
Kelderman is women's soccer representative on Marquette's SAAC and is active in the LEAD leadership development program. She was nominated and selected to attend the NCAA Career in Sports Forum in June 2022, where she networked with peers and decision-makers at the campus, conference and national level of college athletics during a three-day workshop in Indianapolis. There, through panels, engaging breakout discussions, keynote presentations and facilitated dialogues, she gained a thorough understanding of athletics as a career path as well as learning about the role of an intercollegiate coach, athletics administrator and national governing body staff members of the NCAA. She also works on campus in MU's Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.
On the pitch, Kelderman missed all of the 2021 campaign with a knee injury, but started 23 matches in her first two seasons at MU. She recorded five points as a freshman in 2019 on her way to BIG EAST All-Freshman Team honors as a defender while posting one match-winning goal and three assists in 1,337 minutes. She notched two assists in a shortened 2020-21 season.
