Walz receives national, regional honors from ACCT

Madison College’s Dr. Ken Walz recently received two awards from the Association of Community College Trustees Association --- the William H. Meardy Faculty Member Award and the Central Region's outstanding faculty award.

“I congratulate Ken for the innovative leadership and expertise he brings to the college and his students,” said Madison College President Dr. Jack E. Daniels III. “These are distinctions we can all celebrate and take pride in.” 

Walz has taught chemistry, engineering and renewable energy at the college since 2003.
