Madison College is committed to a strong, welcoming, and supportive culture—across all employee roles.
Why? Because that's what it takes to serve our diverse learning community best. Our employees play an integral role in the success of all our students. They lift each other up, too. That's why we look beyond the application and get to know the person behind it. We strive to hire people who’ll live our mission and values. Working together, we can help students and colleagues from a wide variety of backgrounds thrive.

“I felt supported by Madison College from the very start. They delivered more than promised by sharing bountiful development opportunities to further my career.”
Employee Mentoring Program
Learn to grow and thrive personally and professionally through our new mentoring program. Participants are paired with a mentor who can help build their professional network and offer great career advice. And it goes both ways! We encourage our mentors to learn from their mentees as well.
College Community Days
Twice a year, Madison College faculty and staff come together to celebrate a new semester and recognize and welcome all our great new hires. Hear from a Madison College Board Member and leave feeling inspired by Dr. Berne's “state of the union address.”

“I’ve been with Madison College for over fifteen years. I’ve felt supported and encouraged to grow both professionally and personally due to all the learning opportunities offered through the years. I now feel like I’ve become a role model helping others do the same.”
