President Christopher Dougherty

Welcome!

Welcome to Madonna University, established by the Felician Sisters over 85 years ago as a Catholic, independent college dedicated to the liberal arts, career preparation, and public service. As Madonna's President, I am proud to serve the students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of the University who each day recognize and engage in the many exceptional opportunities that define Madonna as a learning organization. 

Having joined the Madonna community in July 2023, I am humbled to be chosen to work with an ambitious, passionate, creative, and dedicated group of professionals whose primary focus is the education and success of students. We devote ourselves daily to preparing our learners for lives that will make the world a better place. As a community, we will continue to achieve great things as we live out our Franciscan values and carry on the legacy of our founders, the Felician Sisters of North America. In doing so, I am grateful for the opportunity to work with a talented Madonna team to serve as an anchor institution in Livonia and surrounding communities with a global reach.

Please join me in exploring how Madonna University can be a part of your educational journey, a place to grow spiritually, socially, and professionally, leading to a rewarding career that changes lives in the process.

Sincerely,

Christopher Dougherty, Ph.D
President
