I have been known to remind students whom I meet that I will see them again, if not in the hallways then at least on stage at their graduation ceremony when I shake their hand.
When you began your academic career at Madison Area Technical College—perhaps even when you were in the middle of your studies—you may have thought that this day would never come. But I knew it would, and in fact it did. We are here today
celebrating your graduation because of your hard work, your will to become someone you wished to become and your drive to achieve success.
The Madison College community congratulates you on your accomplishments! We hope you enjoyed your college experience here and that we have provided you with the foundation you need to succeed in your future endeavors. I’m so proud of you!

“If you’ve got a passion for something, go for it,” says Kirsty Lowry, who will graduate with a degree in Recreation Management. “Find out as much as you can, and then don’t let fear of the unknown stop you. You’ll find the support you need. I did.”
Ms. Lowry knows what she’s talking about. She searched far and wide for a college that would help her fulfill her dreams and put her on a career path that would fit her goals.
Before coming to Madison College, she’d already earned a degree and had spent six years teaching elementary school and a prior three years in outdoor education. None of it was quite the right fit, she says.
“I had been an outdoor education instructor and although I loved that work, I wanted to have a regular schedule. I enjoyed teaching but I wanted to focus on health education and coaching, so I began to search for something closer to my goals.”
Her search took her thousands of miles from her home in Australia. She wrote away to several u.S. colleges but Madison College was the first to respond and offered a program with the right emphasis on health and wellness. The friendly response and support she received right from the beginning made her choice easy, she says.
Ms. Lowry has a long list of reasons why she knew she’d made the right choice — from smaller classes to supportive staff to flexible scheduling — but says her instructors were key, giving her opportunities to meet people in the industry and really prepare for her new career.
She plans to launch a health and wellness coaching business right here in her adopted hometown, Madison.

During World War II, the school joined the war effort by training workers for the defense industry, and after the war veteran enrollment soared. Grandparents of some of today’s graduates trained for jobs in new career fields such as electronics, automotive technology and fire protection. By the 1960s, the technical school became Madison Area Technical College, offering the first college transfer courses and associate degrees to a new generation seeking advanced technical skills and higher education.
As the nation’s economy has slowed and soared and slowed again, the commitment remains the same. Madison College is here to prepare each new generation to meet the challenges of a changing world.
Our graduates are chefs, designers, machinists, laboratory technicians, nurses, network administrators, paralegals, mechanics and dental assistants. Many become CEOs, business owners, fire fighters, doctors and developers, but no matter where their journey takes them, they all start with real world training from Madison College.

The nurse who helped your mother walk after hip surgery. The computer help desk technician
who solved your latest software issue. The preschool teacher who guided your child through shoe-tying 101. All these people have one thing in common: Madison Area Technical College.
Those graduating today join a strong tradition of service and support to the community, one that goes back more than 100 years. In 1912, 63 eager young students crammed into a single room above a fire station to take the area’s very first “vocational” classes. Our country was industrializing rapidly, and Wisconsin needed skilled workers for its factories and offices.
The school that would become Madison College was there to meet the need. Class offerings and facilities grew steadily during the next decades. By 1932, the school was serving almost 8,000 students and was part of a five-school district.
When the Depression hit, the school offered hope, opening its doors wide to offer unemployed adults opportunities to learn new, more marketable skills.
