Each month the Fond
du Lac Morning Rotary Club acknowledges a college student for his/her
achievements, and this month a Moraine Park student is in the spotlight! Jim
Eden, VP of academic affairs, and I were proud to have the opportunity to join
the Rotary Club in recognizing Glen McClyman of Fond du Lac as the November
Rotary College Student of the Month.
Glen describes
himself as a nontraditional student. He said that working to support his family
trumped higher education earlier in his life, and now, after a 20-year
manufacturing career, he has decided to go back to school. Glen is pursuing an
associate of applied science degree in Process Engineering Technology and will
graduate next spring. On campus, he serves as president of the MPTC
Student Society of Manufacturing Engineers Club, and he is also a representative
to the MPTC Student Senate. Glen is undoubtedly keeping busy and not
letting anything stand in the way of his achievements – he is carrying a 4.0
GPA, as well as working part time, coaching his daughter’s sports and serving
as vice president of the North Fondy Soccer Club.
Students are
nominated by MPTC faculty and staff. The recognition allows students to
attend a Rotary meeting and learn more about civic organizations and giving
back to the community. Maybe you will be the next Student of the Month!
