FAQS
Where are we now?
The SACSCOC site team visit was a complete success with team members providing very positive feedback on The Madison Collaborative: Ethical Reasoning in Action. Currently, the Madison Collaborative Task Force is developing and administering professional development modules to faculty and staff to facilitate the integration of the Eight Key Questions into courses (focusing first on General Education) and Student Affairs programming. The freshman class entering in fall 2013 will have its first full introduction to The Madison Collaborative (MC) during 1787 August Orientation through a program entitled "It's Complicated: Ethical Reasoning in Action."
When will Madison Collaborative staff be hired?
In April 2013, Provost Jerry Benson and Senior Vice President Mark Warner appointed the Madison Collaborative Search Committee, chaired by Executive Assistant to the President Maggie Burkhart Evans. Committee members include Keston Fulcher, Fletcher Linder, Tisha McCoy-Ntiamoah, David McGraw, Kevin Meaney, and Lee Sternberger. The MC Chair and Associate Chair positions have been posted, and applications will be reviewed in June. The tentative starting date for both staff members is August 10, 2013.
How can I get involved?
The Madison Collaborative will provide many opportunities for students, faculty and staff to get involved in curricular and extra-curricular activities. Two exciting opportunities, already underway, are the Research Grant and Program Innovation Grant, which will provide funding to selected applicants to engage in research or to develop new programs that connect to the MC. Students, faculty, and staff are eligible to apply for either grant. In addition, please contact The Madison Collaborative to discuss other, upcoming opportunities to join in MC activities.
