Interior Design Students Receive Top Awards at Competition

    On Friday, April 8, fourteen of Madison College’s Interior Design program students participated in an annual Interior Design Competition, held this year at Waukesha County Technical College, and took home seven of the top awards.

    Waukesha County Technical College, Milwaukee Area Technical College, Western Wisconsin Technical College and Gateway Technical College also had students in attendance at the competition, which is open to all Wisconsin Technical College System Interior Design program students.
