President's Message: December 1, 2011

    Madison College President Bettsey BarhorstDear Faculty and Staff:

    I hope you had a relaxing Thanksgiving with your family and friends. The end of the semester is almost here and I know it's a busy time for everyone. Again, I just want you to know that I appreciate everything you do for our students and the College.

    Holiday Concert
    Here's a great way to get into the holiday spirit! Madison College's Community Show Choir is having its annual Holiday Concert at 2 p.m. this Sunday in the Mitby Theater. There will be lots of popular holiday music, as well as music from Handel's Messiah and an audience sing-along featuring several holiday favorites. Click here to learn more about the concert and to reserve your tickets.

    In honor of the recent Thanksgiving holiday I wanted to pass on this quote from JFK:
    "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

    Thanks again for everything you do for the College.

    Bettsey
