Warmest wishes for a happy holiday season!

At the close of another year, it’s a wonderful time to pause and reflect on accomplishments. We have much to be proud of at Moraine Park. To name a few, we broke ground on a new Student Services addition on our Fond du Lac campus, were awarded $1.2 million in Wisconsin Fast Forward grant dollars to train workers, and hosted a very successful inaugural Pink Pumpkin 5K Run/Walk.

I am especially proud of our student’s accomplishments throughout the year. We have seen the Health Science Program achieve outstanding national exam pass rates, students from many different programs represented the College at SkillsUSA competitions, and our service-learning efforts were showcased at our State’s capitol. 

As I mention service-learning, I want to give special recognition to the students who have been volunteering this holiday season. Students in Moraine Park’s Electrical Power Distribution Club rang bells for the Salvation Army, many students spent time at local nursing homes and coordinated toy drives, while the Radiography Club adopted a family during the holiday season. I am always moved by the caring hearts of our students at Moraine Park. You really are making a difference!

We have much to celebrate at Moraine Park and to look forward to! Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful holiday and a very Happy New Year! http://youtu.be/WgIRgTn25Uc

Moraine Park Scholarships: It’s all about our students

The Moraine Park Foundation is dedicated to helping students attain scholarships to meet their educational goals, and one way is through identifying and soliciting scholarships from a variety of outside organizations and businesses. 

Thanks to the generosity of our many Moraine Park Foundation donors, in 2013-14, the Foundation awarded nearly $130,000 to many deserving Moraine Park students. And, each year, the Foundation hosts events at each of our three campuses to bring together scholarship donors and recipients. The event gives both parties an opportunity to meet and talk about school and goals and just get to know each other. This year, I had the chance to meet many of our donors and students at the Fond du Lac event, and below are some pictures from that event as well as our Beaver Dam and West Bend events.

Don’t forget! Spring semester registration is underway, so be sure to explore the different scholarship options available.  

Congratulations to all of the scholarship recipients!
