Students touring Epic System's campus
The first annual Madison After Class proved to be a unique and exciting opportunity to explore one of Madison's most successful and progressive companies, Epic Systems. Our afternoon began with a tour of Epic's impressive campus. Highlights of the tour included the themed board rooms, replica New York subway hallway, and the Indiana Jones passage between buildings. Epic has made a strong effort to design a fun and inspirational atmosphere that promotes productivity and creativity, and the recipe seems to be working.
The tour was followed by a presentation about Epic's history, philosophy, and plans for the future, and then a breakout session with three UW graduates who are currently employed by Epic. The employees recalled their journey as UW students and explained how UW-Madison prepared them to be successful after graduation, and more specifically at Epic Systems.
The students found our trip to Epic to be informational, inspirational, and a one-of-a-kind opportunity to see one of the nations most successful and unique healthcare software providers in the world. We look forward to expanding the program next semester to highlight other local corporations, and expose UW students to what Madison has to offer, after class!
