Send a message to Dr. Madden.

I love teaching because it provides an opportunity to spark in students new ideas about their place in the world, and cultivates students' abilities to think, speak and write critically.

Dr. Madden's research agenda examines higher education policy frameworks and how policy impacts student experiences within the context of international higher education for development and exchange. She became Dean of Academics on July 1, 2019. As the Chief Academic Officer for the College, Dr. Madden is responsible for the overall administration, coordination, and development of academic policies, programs, personnel and facilities. Dr. Madden continues to sit on doctoral dissertation committees at George Washington University.
