“For me, obtaining this degree at Madison College has strengthened my confidence, rekindled my innate desire to ask “What about this?” and retooled my skills into a vibrant professional presence to bring into my Administrative Professional career. I am grateful to you all in the WorkSmart Network and every department at Madison College,” said Lisa.

This spring, Lisa celebrated her graduation from Madison College and received a technical diploma in the Administrative Professional program. She’s now at the Department of Employee Trust Funds. Congratulations Lisa!
