Why did the College select these projects as funding priorities?

Culinary Arts and Baking & Decorative Arts – Madison College has developed a comprehensive Master Campus Plan that identifies the highest facility priorities for renovation, expansion and construction of new facilities to ensure the College has optimal learning environments for students and faculty as we seek to meet the needs of employers today and far into the future. Creating new spaces for the Culinary Arts and Baking & Decorative Arts programs is our highest capital priority.

Student Success Programs – These programs benefit students across campus, yet their reach is limited by available funding. Building an endowment for faculty support will ensure ample services are available to promising students who benefit from tutoring sessions and other proven student achievement programs. Investments in Career Services, Veteran Services and other core student life services ensure students receive the support they need outside the classroom. In turn, these services help students to develop leadership skills and connect with student clubs and prospective employers, identify job placement and networking opportunities, and receive career coaching and counseling to achieve their full potential.

Scholarships – At present, the Foundation only has the capacity to provide scholarships for approximately half of the qualifying students due to lack of funding. Increased scholarship funding means more worthy students can afford to attend college. And, because 95 percent of our graduates live and work in Wisconsin, scholarships will ensure that more graduates are available to take their places in the workforce throughout our region.
