Madison College has crafted a vision for the next five academic years, driven by a spirit of transformational change.
Vision 2030's ongoing strategic planning is supported and endorsed by the District Board of Trustees, with active participation from students, faculty, staff, and community partners. This comprehensive roadmap not only showcases but embodies and supports Madison College's mission.
The six strategic commitments will guide decision-making, the college’s commitment to student success, and continued support of educational, workforce, and community partners.
Madison College’s primary focus is to understand our student's needs and proactively address the requirements of community, educational, and workforce partnerships throughout Wisconsin.
These commitments are embedded in the work of every employee, team, and unit plan, making Vision 2030 the singular strategic framework of Madison College.
Our Strategic Commitments
Our six commitments reflect the college’s mission, vision, and values and will connect efforts to meaningful, transformative action.
Chosen and crafted with broad and deep input from students, employees, and community members, each commitment offers an aspirational and achievable framework to guide the college’s strategic planning over these next five years.
