About Working at Edgewood University

The city of Madison is generally regarded as one of the best places to live and raise a family in America. Home to three lakes, Lake Mendota, Lake Monona, and Lake Wingra, Madison is a haven for all types of outdoor enthusiasts, including boaters, sailors, and bikers. As the capital, Madison is the seat of state government. It’s also home to the state’s major public university. Its public and private schools offer education that is superior.

As a member of our community of learners, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in our retirement program, tuition remission for yourself and your family, and a variety of highly valued fringe benefits

We offer a generous leave program in case one is in need of personal or family care. In addition, the University adjusts hours in the summer to allow staff to have Friday afternoons off.

Between health care programs, dental care, insurance and other intangible benefits, the total compensation package at Edgewood University is outstanding. It all adds up to a great place for a career of service to our students.

Edgewood University administers all employment practices without discrimination to ensure equal treatment of employees regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, color, creed, national origin or ancestry age, disability, or any other characteristic protected under applicable law. These practices include, but are not limited to, those pertaining to recruitment, hiring, transfers, promotions, tuition remissions, compensation, benefits, terminations, and selection for University-sponsored training.

We Welcome You to be a Part of Our Mission

At Edgewood University, our mission calls us to educate students for lives of ethical leadership, service, and a lifelong search for truth – the motto of the worldwide Dominican order. Our Sinsinawa Dominican Values – the search for truth, community, compassion, justice, and partnership – shape our ethos, pedagogy, and approach to serving our students. Our faculty and staff contribute to our mission by embodying our values through the sharing of their individual gifts and talents.

Our identity as a Catholic university founded by the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa inspires us to create a working environment that fosters the dignity of each person through our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, rooted in the principles of Catholic social teaching. We both affirm our Dominican heritage and aspire to reflect the diverse voices, cultures, and perspectives of our world. To that end, our expectation is that our community members respect our heritage and values rather than requiring a creedal affirmation. We are committed to academic freedom, the Dominican tradition of respectful dialogue (disputatio), and thoughtful engagement on our collective journey as lifelong learners.
