What’s InsIde

Fall 2009

Madison Area Technical College leaders captured the

dreams of community college students in a multi-year

building program recently released to the public.

Called the Facilities Master Plan, the forward-thinking and

inclusive blueprint for the College’s seven campuses provides

a exible framework for campus development as leaders

direct changes and reinvestment during the next decade.

Planning began in 2005 with student suggestions and

dovetailed with an Academic Plan in 2007.

“At the core of every single aspect of the design lies

our commitment to student success,” said President

Bettsey Barhorst.

Sweeping changes would recreate the Truax facility in

Madison. An elegant and obvious entrance with adjacent

Student Success Center would house unique community 

college services, such as counseling, placement testing,

tutoring and meeting spaces.

 The plan outlines other enhancements at Truax including a

new health care professions classroom building, an expanded

teaching space for manufacturing, a campus center for student

activities, a child and family center, a new building for re

and protective services, an expanded library and a health and

 wellness education center.

Planners did not ignore much heated discussion about

parking issues at the campus. A sheltered walkway from cars

to the front door is proposed.

Planners envision a third-party developer transformingthe Downtown Education Center in Madison into an applied

every single

aspect of the

design lies our

commitment to

student success.”— President Bettsey Barhorst

In addition, the College recently opened

a Career Resources Center at the Truax Campus for current students and alumni.

The center offers career planning, a

resource library, one-on-one career

exploration with an advisor and a

variety of workshops, including resume

writing, getting the most out of a job

fair, networking and interviewing skills.

For more information drop by room 147,

visit matcmadison.edu/choosing-

careerprogram or call (608) 246-6076.

The Foundation is also prepared to

respond to the future demands of ourstudents. A major gifts campaign began

with our very own faculty and staff in

2008–2009. To date, 62% of the College’s

faculty, staff and administrators have

generously contributed to the campaign.

Its goals are to provide access to education

via scholarships and to provide additional

staff and student support services, such

as basic English and math tutoring,

advising and child care. The next step

is to explore partnerships with local

businesses, foundations and community 

leaders to identify areas of mutual interest.

Together, we can provide accessible, high

quality learning experiences that serve the

community.

arts setting. It would cluster programs

 with connections to downtown’s centers

of government, hospitality, culinary 

innovation and the arts.

 The structure of the existing

building would remain but would be

heavily renovated.

Other campuses also embrace

improvements including:

n Additional space will support programs

at the recently expanded Fort Atkinson

site. Wind turbines also are under

consideration for this location.

n Building expansions at the Reedsburg

campus would increase the number

of classrooms and laboratories.

n A new library might grace the Watertown campus with other

expanded academic space, possibly 

including an organic farm plot.

n Portage campus leaders will assess

if additional nursing classes are

needed and with those would come

additional chemistry/anatomy/ 

physiology and nursing labs.

n The Commercial Avenue site in

Madison would be sold after all

programs are moved to new or

renovated buildings at Truax and

storage is moved to a new location.

 A full description of potential changes

is available on the College’s website,

matcmadison.edu. Go to the search

box and type in “master plan” for themost recent version.

College leaders have created cost

budgets and ranked building projects by 

priority. Several steps have been com-

pleted, including moving Protective Ser-

 vices to a temporary space on Madison’s

 West Side while building plans continue.

 With an expected investment of more

than $300 million during the next 15

 years, college leaders eagerly seek help

and suggestions from alumni and friends.

“The College design honors our needs

 for updated facilities while respecting

its century of success,” said Barhorst.

“We can only move forward with the

help of those whose lives have been

transformed by the College. We need

 your support.”

in the long and short term,” says Dean.

“I want to be a part of that as long as

I’m able.”

Dean will accomplish his goal through

planned giving, which also can include

tax advantages and lifetime income to

the donor or beneciaries. To discuss

Ehlers keepsnursingprogram

healthy

 The tuition

scholarship,

renewable for

 four semesters, is

named in memory 

of Spike Ehlers’

 wife of 62 years,

 who passed away 

in 2000. A graduateof Madison General

Hospital (now Meriter), she had worked

as a hospital and private nurse in Chicago,

Milwaukee and Madison.

 The scholarship relieves stress on

Higgins, 40, a mother of four and a

part-time waitress, who said: “Working

and being in school at the same time is

difcult. The extra money for me means

I can have a little more time with my 

 family and my studies.”

 As her benefactor counts down the

days to his 103rd birthday on New

 Year’s Eve, he can count over 135students helped, either in the Associate

Degree Nursing or Licensed Practical

Nursing programs.

“These students are his monument

to his wife’s generosity,” says Bob

Dinndorf, executive director of the

College’s Foundation.

Lona Ehlers had honored her

husband by leaving a donation to

the foundation of the Rotary Club of 

Madison. Spike Ehlers, in turn, honored

his wife by working with the College

and Rotary foundations to establish

the nursing scholarship program. Withadditional support from Ehlers and

others, it became the College’s rst

million-dollar endowed fund.

 The donors could have supported

nursing students at other schools, but

Ehlers considered the Madison College

program a “good value” for the tuition

cost, now about $3,400 per year.

Higgins agrees, explaining why she

 waited more than three years to be

admitted to the program, which caps

enrollment due to limited placements in

area hospitals.

Now she and her oldest son are

among more than 41,000 students in

140 programs at the College. About

5 percent in degree and certicate

programs receive support through

Foundation scholarships.

“Spike Ehlers and other donors help

us pave an accessible, affordable path

to higher education for our students,

build a pool of skilled workers for areabusinesses and boost the regional

economy,” says College President Bettsey 

Barhorst. “The college and the greater

community are better places thanks to

their investments in the future.”

As he counts down the

days to his 103rd birthday

on New Year’s Eve, he can

count over 135 students

who received his help.

The international Skills

competition was Sept. 1 to 7

and Ben Janke was selected

to represent the United

States in the International

Skills competition for Auto

Renishing Technology.

(He completed the Auto Collision program,

and is now in the Auto Technician program.)

He placed 9th, and was the rst U.S.

competitor to score more than 500 points in

Come “y” with us in an animated

 video that celebrates the achieve-

ment of architectural design students at

the College and was made possible with

more than $630,000 in-kind donations

from alumni and friends.

 Alumni Mark

Schmitz, Melanie

Kranz and donorDiane Ballweg were

key in the creation

of a 10-minute “y 

through” video ani-

mation that captures

the brilliance of 

 Taliesin, the home of 

architect and educa-

tor Frank Lloyd

 Wright located

in nearby Spring

Green, Wis.

Students helped

create the video as

one of two colleges

invited to New York’s Guggenheim

Museum’s exhibition, “Frank Lloyd

Wright: From Within Outward.”

 The other college? Harvard

University’s Graduate School of Design.

 The challenge: Create a video depict-

ing Wright’s Spring Green school and

home, Taliesin, as it looked in 1959, theyear of his death. Along with a Harvard

University Graduate School of Design

Collegezooms in onFrank LloydWright

animation project, the piece would be

showcased at the May through August

celebration marking the 50th anniversary 

of the museum Wright designed —

then travel with the exhibit, rst to the

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain.

 The talent: Bob Corbett, an archi-

tectural design instructor, accepted the

challenge presented by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Taliesin Preserva-

tion Inc. Corbett, colleagues Devin Rains

and Rebecca Parish, and their students

took a ying leap off the drafting board

 with an audacious plan for an animated

“y through” view of Taliesin. They would

need not only in-depth research and on-

site meticulous measurements but also

a plane to get aerial footage and profes-

sional assistance for production.

 The community and alumni

contributions: Long-time College

supporter Diane Ballweg, vice president

of the Endres Manufacturing Company 

of Waunakee, donated the use of a plane

and piloting skills. The alumni who

 volunteered production support are

principals in the visual-brand design

 rm ZD Studios of Madison; creative

director Mark Schmitz, a graduate of 

the commercial art program, and vice

president Melanie Kranz, a marketing

graduate. They sweet-talked colleague Arkadiusz “Archi” Zarzycki, a Madison-

area 3D animator, to help with the project.

 These contributions elevated the

student project with its shoestring

budget to a polished product backed

by more than $630,000 of in-kind

contributions just from ZD Studios.

 The result: The 10-minute video,

“There Must Be a Natural House,”

 was shown in a continuous clip at the

museum, which drew a Guggenheimexhibit record-breaking 372,000 visitors.

 The pay-off for students, Corbett notes,

includes a prestigious portfolio addition.

 The lm closes with the text: “Taliesin

is a story.”

So, too, the College is a story — a story 

about high-caliber instructors with real

 world experience, students who excel on

par with Harvard peers, graduates who

succeed at the top of their elds and gen-

erous donors willing to lend a hand…and

perhaps a plane, pilot and state of the art

production equipment.

Schmitz is eager to share that story:

“We need to begin a culture of pride

of ownership in our degrees from the

College, to have people feel they’re a part

of a wonderful organization that’s bigger

than they are. And they need to come

back and help in any way they can.”

Directions:1. Rinse chicken under cold water. Place chicken in a pot

of cooled brine. Weight if necessary to keep the chicken

 from oating to the top. Refrigerate for 6 hours.

2. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Remove chicken from the

brine and discard the brine. Season inside the chicken

 with salt and pepper. Truss the bird. Let the chicken

sit in the refrigerator for 20 minutes uncovered before

roasting. Sprinkle outside of chicken very lightly withsalt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet with the

canola oil on stove top over medium high heat. Place the

bird in the hot oil with breast side up. Place into the oven

 with the legs pointed to the back. Roast for 40 minutes,

checking the bird every 15 minutes. Rotate the skillet if the chicken is roasting unevenly. (If it still cooks unevenly,

 you can cover it lightly with foil.)

3. After 40 minutes, check that the chicken is heated to

155 degrees. Check the internal temperature between

the thigh and the leg. Let the bird rest in the skillet on

the stove top or counter until it reaches an internal

temperature of 165 degrees. Add the thyme leaves to

the skillet, stir and baste the bird with juices and thyme

leaves while it is resting. Remove the trussing and carve.
