CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2014 MADISON COLLEGE GRADUATES
Dear Graduates:
From modest beginnings in 1912 when 63 students crammed into a
single room above a fire station, Madison College has positioned itself
as one of the finest two-year campuses in the country. We have a lot
for which to be proud. Today’s graduating class is evidence of that.
Like every student who walks across the stage this evening, you
have a unique motivation that carried you to this day. But what you
all share in common is hard work, determination and an unflagging drive to achieve
success. When you began your education at Madison College, you may have thought
this day would never come. But the reality is this: It’s here! And you did it!
After you receive your diploma, your relationship with Madison College will be forever
changed. No longer will you be students of Madison College. Instead, you have earned
the privilege of joining the ranks of graduates who can proudly claim the title “Madison
College alumni.” I hope you will be influential ambassadors of the College and the
knowledge and skills you acquired here, as well as emissaries of the values and sense of
purpose that led you to this milestone.
Congratulations on this significant achievement. The lessons and skills you have learned
here will benefit you for a lifetime. The future holds great promise for today’s graduates,
and I wish you the best in your professional and personal endeavors.
Go WolfPack!

STUDENT SPEAKER
Makiko Omori
Liberal Arts Program Graduate
O
riginally from Tokyo, Japan, Makiko Omori has always been
eager to expand her horizons. While studying at a culinary school
and managing a restaurant, she developed an interest in people’s
relationships with food. This grew into a passion for nutritional and
cultural education and prevention of food-related diseases.
In 2011, Makiko volunteered in the relief efforts following the Japan
earthquake. An encounter led to an opportunity to lecture in
Wisconsin schools about Japanese food culture and the relationship
between food and health. The experience inspired her to pursue a
degree in dietetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
While attending Madison College, Makiko has worked in the
Center for International Education, served as an officer in the World
Student Association and has participated in Student Senate and
Phi Theta Kappa. She also founded the Horticulture Club which
works to improve sustainable practices on campus. This spring,
she was recognized as a New Century Scholar at the American
Association of Community Colleges President’s Breakfast in
Washington, D.C.
Makiko plans to transfer to UW-Madison to complete her bachelor’s
degree in dietetics. Her goal is to become a registered dietician
and help people enjoy good health through dietary improvements.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Dr. Daniel J. Carey
President, Edgewood College
D
r. Dan Carey currently serves as president of Edgewood

Benedictine College. He earned his master’s degree in psychology,
counseling and guidance and his doctorate in college student
personnel administration from the University of Northern Colorado.
This Fulbright scholar also attended Harvard University’s Institute for
Educational Management.
Before he began his higher education career, Dr. Carey served in
the military. A decorated Vietnam War Veteran, he was a platoon

as a squadron commander in the U.S. Air Force Reserve and
eventually retired as full colonel.
His expertise was highly regarded during his three-year term on
the Executive Board of the National Association of Independent
Colleges. Additionally, he previously served on the national board

DISTINGUISHED TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Bernardo Hoes
Full-time Faculty
A
native of Baltimore, Maryland, Bernie Hoes has taught for
Madison College’s English Department since 2004. He began his
time with Madison College as a part-time English instructor in 2001.
Bernie also works as a faculty advisor helping students with course
placement and selection.
Bernie’s teaching philosophy is grounded in the notion that teachers
must meet students where they are in terms of learning styles, life
experiences, college-readiness plus academic and professional
goals. He believes in building students’ confidence to empower
them to realize those goals.
Bernie holds a Bachelor of Arts and a master’s degree in English
and is pursuing a doctorate in curriculum and instruction from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he has taught courses in
English, literacy and diversity. Before the Madison leg of his teaching
journey, Bernie taught English for Baltimore City Community College
and the Community Colleges of Baltimore County.
Beyond his work at Madison College, Bernie serves as the board
co-chair for Gay Straight Alliance for Safe Schools (GSAFE). In his
free time, Bernie enjoys jazz and swing music, Madison’s various
restaurants, and the infectious laughter of close friends.

DISTINGUISHED TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Christine Casselman
Part-time Faculty
“Someone made a circle to keep me out, so I made a bigger one
to include us all.”
S
o goes the Native American saying that instructor Christine
Casselman teaches her Race, Class and Gender students
each semester. Through intense discussion and exploration,
she encourages students to keep making the circle bigger. Her
collaborative approach to education is one of her keys to success
and a reason she is one of this year’s Distinguished Teachers.
Christine received her Bachelor of Arts in sociology and,
anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. She
followed this up by earning her master’s degree in sociology from
the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She has received extensive
training in the art of motivational interviewing which helps her elicit
from students what they need, what they already know and what
motivates them.
Christine has been teaching at Madison College for four years. In
addition to Race, Class and Gender, she has taught Contemporary
American Society and Introduction to Sociology. Each year
she provides students an opportunity to serve the hungry and
homeless at a meal site in Milwaukee’s inner-city. This life-changing
experience encourages her students to embrace a more global
perspective and to keep making bigger circles.

WTCS STATE AMBASSADOR
Pauline Chavez-Hemaidan
Liberal Arts Transfer Program Student
E
ach year, the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS)
selects one student from each of the state’s 16 technical
college districts to serve as a state ambassador. This year’s Madison
College ambassador is Pauline Chavez-Hemaidan.
Pauline has excelled as a student and in a variety of leadership
roles on campus. She is an active member of both the Phi Theta
Kappa Honor Society and the Women of Color Scholars Program.
She has also played a key role in planning and coordinating the
college’s network/business etiquette event. She has managed to
juggle her studies and activities with her responsibilities as a wife
and mother.
Pauline is a true success story. Growing up in poor communities in
Texas and Chicago, she quit school to help her family when she
was 16. Her drive to succeed led her to Madison College where she
has surpassed one goal after another.
Known for her dedication and generosity, Pauline is currently
completing the liberal arts transfer program at Madison College.
She plans to graduate from Edgewood College in 2015, with a
bachelor’s degree in business management.

LEGEND OF THE CAP AND GOWN
In ancient Greece, when formal
education was for the very rich or the
very determined, a wise old teacher was
approached by a group of aristocrats.
“Our sons have completed their studies
and it is time for them to return to their
homes and live in the style befitting
their station. On the morrow, we will
hold a great banquet in their honor
and expect them to be dressed in their
finest garments.” The old man smilingly
answered, “They will be there,” and he
added, “appropriately dressed.”
The following day, the banquet hall was
filled with royalty and nobility dressed in
dazzling jewels and costly finery; then
came the great moment when the
students entered with their beloved
teacher. A cry arose from the crowd,
for here were their young men dressed
not in the tunics of the noble, but in
simple robes, each carrying a mortar
board — the mark of a common
workman.
“Let me explain,” spoke the teacher as
he raised his hands to silence the crowd.
“Your sons are dressed in the clothing of
the mason, for their destiny is to build.
Some will build cities, some will build lives
— perhaps one of them may even build
an empire. But all will be builders on the
solid foundation of knowledge.”
And thus, over the years, the cap and
gown have become a traditional part of
graduation, symbolizing the fact that our
men and women are builders — of their
own future and the future of the world.

GROWING OUR COMMUNITY FOR NEARLY A CENTURY
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 fiveschool district.
When the Depression hit, the school
offered hope, opening its doors wide to
offer unemployed adults opportunities
to learn new, more marketable skills.
During World War II, the school joined
the war effort by training workers
for the defense industry, and after
the war veteran enrollments 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
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,
paralegals, mechanics and dental
assistants. Many become CEOs,
business owners, doctors and
developers, but no matter where their
journey takes them, they all start with
real world training from
Madison College.
