WTCS Needs Your Help

If you’re a Moraine Park student, staff or community member you have a great opportunity to provide input to the Wisconsin Technical College System. The WTCS Board is asking System stakeholders to take a few minutes to complete a very brief survey, in which the survey participant can share their perspective on System priorities.  The survey will be available through the end of October and can be accessed by visiting http://surveys.questionpro.com/a/TakeSurvey?id=2579178.  I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity and share your thoughts on the direction of the State’s technical colleges, as the Board will consider results of the survey as they identify priorities for the next four years. For more information on the survey, visit http://channels.morainepark.edu/press-releases/post/2011/10/05/Wisconsin-Technical-College-System-looking-for-survey-participants.aspx

Advisory Committees let Moraine Park Alumni get involved

I hope the fall academic term has been good and the classes you are enrolled in are going well.  As the fall term has gotten underway for me, I have been fortunate to attend Advisory Committee meetings for several programs areas including Electricity, Engine Research and Development Technician, and Automotive. 

If you are not familiar with Moraine Park’s Advisory Committees, they are a vital part of all of our educational program areas. Advisory committees ensure the education and training provided by Moraine Park meets the current and future needs of our businesses and employers.  Representation to these committees includes graduates of our programs!

If you are a Moraine Park graduate, you may have received a letter inviting you to join the advisory committee for your program area. I encourage you to accept the invite. If you have not received a letter and are interested in this opportunity, please let your program instructors know that you would like to serve on the advisory committee.  This is one way you will be able to give back to the college and help future students.

I’m interested in knowing how your fall term is going, please leave a comment and let me know.
